Nope, that's not what it's called ! But I called it as such for two reasons.
Why Staircase Icefall ? This particular river got frozen only in a span of 2 days and due to fast freezing, it got frozen in multiple Icy Staircase formation towards downstream. You can see it here in the picture. Above each staircase, there is a layer of thin ice and calm water reflecting the beauty of the mountain. Due to lack of my knowledge with such formation, I chose to call it Staircase Icefall.
Why Consolation Creek ? This creek was so beautiful at sunrise that it was our only worthwhile frame in our rather dull 3-4 days wait-for-the-flight stopover at Whiehorse. That's why I call it Consolation Creek sunrise

We started around 4 AM from our hotel to catch sunrise in Kathleen Lake. And wr found this small creek on the way around 6 AM. We decided to wait until SunriseLighting
The lighting was surreal. Epic sunrise combined with ethereal mountain glow made out effort worthwhileEquipment
