I've walked on Icelandic glaciers and was struck by how much "dirt" there was in them; this, unfortunately, absorbs the solar heat even more and contributes to melting. Those glaciers look very clean!Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229460841379583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-78582299998745480262014-09-22T07:24:41.297-03:002014-09-22T07:24:41.297-03:00Love those awards!Love those awards!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-36770914724513099422014-09-22T07:24:03.786-03:002014-09-22T07:24:03.786-03:00I would be curious to visit Glacier National Park ...I would be curious to visit Glacier National Park to see how it compares - we saw dozens of glaciers and all were spectacular!

I'm very sad to hear about the glacier melting so quickly.

When I was a kid growing up in Alberta, my parents took us to see it and I will never forget the experience. I can tell from the photos how much the glacier has retreated, it is a shadow of what it used to be. When I visited Banff a couple summers ago, I was shocked to see that there little to no snow cover on the mountains - it used to be the case that snow would be visible on the mountains year round. The climate is changing and it is upsetting to me that governments and politicians refuse to recognize it.<br /><br />Looking forward to your Lake Louise report! One of my favourite places in the world!!Louise @ INGREDIENTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883303245642039938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-56651530445918104602014-09-21T17:48:42.029-03:002014-09-21T17:48:42.029-03:00Wow that is a phenomenal place to visit, I can'...Wow that is a phenomenal place to visit, I can't imagine a glacier up close like that.
