ABCNEWS.com : Scientists Say Glaciers Are Melting (Travel Montana/AP Photo), Glacial Retreat. Scientists Say glaciers Are Meltingat Alarming Rate. Snow and glaciers can be viewed as far as the eye can see. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/US/glaciernatlpark_030901.html
Extractions: G L A C I E R N A T I O N A L P A R K, Mont., Sept. 1 Snow and glaciers can be viewed as far as the eye can see. But for scientists who study glaciers, all they see are remnants of glaciers, which are melting and shrinking at an alarming rate. "Predictions are that within 30 years, almost all the glaciers will be gone from Glacier," said Blase Reardon, a biological sciences technician with the U.S. Geological Survey. "One of the problems of the last 10 years is that the glaciers have been fragmenting into smaller pieces," he added. Now there's proof of just how fast the massive blocks of moving ice are retreating. For the first time in 35 years, the USGS has conducted an exhaustive photographic evaluation of the million-acre park. By comparing historic photos taken around the turn of the 20th century, scientists can point to a rapidly diminishing number of glaciers.

Extractions: It takes work to get us where we need to go. Our shoulders sometimes ache miserably as we paddle hard against the current, and when the wind sweeps down from the massive blue glaciers above, it sometimes feels as if we're being slapped by the cold hand of Mother Nature. We've been paddling for four days now, touring for a week a northern reach of Prince William Sound in southwest Alaska. We've paddled about 25 miles already, having left behind the Swiss-like charm of the port of Valdez and carrying all our belongings with us. At the moment, we're paddling through a system of yawning fjords that are impossibly serene, their vast scale unimaginable to the typical lower-48 landlubber. The Only Way to Go This is the only way to tour the Alaskan coast, we've decided. It is mid-June, and there are several tour boats around, massive, offensively white vessels that carry scores of Patagonia-clad adventure wannabes who gawk and snap photos from the deck. As far as we're concerned, they might as well be watching the whole scene on a big screen TV, isolated as they are from the actual touch and thrum of the experience of being on the water. In these sturdy but small sea kayaks, we are a part of this place.

Home Page PROLOGUE Glaciers an Introduction Home Page The North Cascades rugged, cold, gray cloaked peaks, then snowy summits shine forth on the occasional sunny day. Despite having the largest concentration of glaciers in the lower 48 states, no North Cascade glacier can be reached without significant effort. In Alaska, Europe's Alps or Canada's Rocky Mountains a number of glaciers can be reached by road or ski lift. Driving on any of the three highways that cross the North Cascades only occasional glimpses of a glacier are obtained. In contrast, standing upon a North Cascade peak a sea of snow-covered summits dominates your view. North Cascade glaciers are a world apart, remote yet vital to us. The North Cascades of Washington extend from Snoqualmie Pass to the Canadian Border and contain 700 glaciers. North Cascade glaciers attract our attention because of their beauty, power, and inaccessibility.

Kenai Fjord Glaciers The park s glaciers. More than 40 glaciers descend from the HardingIcefield. Those that reach the ocean are called tidewater glaciers http://www.alaska.net/~design/scenes/kenai/kenai3.html
Extractions: More than 40 glaciers descend from the Harding Icefield. Those that reach the ocean are called tidewater glaciers; those that descend only partway down mountain slopes are called hanging glaciers. The dark stripe visible in the glacier near the bottom of this page is pulverized rock pushed up between converging glaciers. Exit Glacier, at right, can be reached by turning off the Seward Highway at Milepost 3.7 and following a gravel road several miles to a parking lot. Trails from the parking lot lead to the face of the glacier. The Harding Icefield can be reached in an all-day hike from the base of Exit Glacier. Facilities at Exit Glacier include a picnic ground and campground as well as a public use cabin that is open only during the winter. The cabin is accessible only by ski, dog sled or snowmachine. Information about reserving it can be obtained from Elsie, at 907-224-3175 Mondays through Fridays. About the park.

Newton's Apple Season 15: Glaciers Explain that glaciers not only are found in polar regions like Antarcticaand Greenland, but mountain glaciers exist even at the equator. http://www.ktca.org/newtons/15/glaciers.html
Extractions: Begin the lesson with the following question: Where is most of the freshwater on Earth currently found-in rivers, lakes, or glacial ice? Explain that glaciers not only are found in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland, but mountain glaciers exist even at the equator. Glaciers can have an enormous effect on sea level around the world. Toward the end of the last ice age, 12,000 years ago, sea level was almost 300 feet lower than it is today. If global warming occurs, some scientists theorize that melting glaciers in the next century could cause a rise in the sea level worldwide. Over the last 25,000 years glaciers have had an even greater effect on our global landscape than earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, or floods. But because they flow so slowly, they are often overlooked as a significant agent of change. A glacier is a large mass of ice that acts like a river, flowing downhill under the influence of gravity. Glaciers are "born" at high elevations where snow builds up over many years without significant melting. In these "accumulation zones," snow at the bottom of the pile gets compacted by the weight of new snow above, causing it to turn into dense glacial ice. Once the depth of the ice reaches 20 to 30 meters (66 to 98 feet), there is enough pressure from above to cause the ice pack to slowly "creep" or flow downhill. As long as new snow is added at the top, a glacier will continue to move forward.
Extractions: Cobequid Highland Glaciers and the DeGeer Sea We are flying over scenic Five Islands, named after the five offshore islands, Moose, Diamond, Long, Egg and Pinnacle. How did these island form? Glooscap (Deity of the Mik'maq, in a fit of rage, threw giant handfuls of sod at Beaver, his nemesis, for mocking his magical powers. Each of these sods is now one of the islands. Conventional interpretation: Five Islands are the eroded remnants of a basalt cuesta formed by synclinal folding of a basalt-capped sedimentary sequence. The islands are laterally displaced from the Cape Split southward-plunging syncline through strike-slip translation along the Cobequid Fault. Summary for non-geologists: The town of Five Islands rests on a flat plain, which was formerly a delta where powerful streams flowed into the ocean from a glacier situated in the hills behind the town. About 14,000 years ago the land was pushed down due to the great weight of glaciers, and sea level was ~15 m higher than the land. The ocean in contact with the glaciers at that time was called the DeGeer Sea. After retreat of the glaciers the land popped up rapidly, and today the delta surface (where sea-level once stood) is high and dry with many camper trailers on it.
