Montana’s melting glaciers: The poster-child for climate change

As recently as 100 years ago, Montana’s Glacier National Park http://www.nps.gov/glac had more than 150 glaciers throughout its more than one million acres.

In 2005 only 27 remained. Today the total is down to a just 25 and those that are left are mere remnants of their former frozen selves.

With warmer temperatures and changes to the water cycle, scientists predict Glacier National Park will be glacier-free by 2030.
