I forget where I read it, but the Rockies' glaciers fare much worse than those in the Coast Range under global warming. If you want a shocking example, visit the Athabasca Glacier between Banff and Jasper [1]. It stretched all the way to the current highway when white men first passed through in the mid-18th century, and there are concrete pylons showing where its snout was at various points in the 20th century. That sad little side-glacier on the left connected to the main one when people first climbed the mountain on the left (Mount Andromeda). See it while you can. EDIT: On an unrelated note, the photographer, John Scurlock, has some amazing aerial photos of other mountains: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/ http://www.pbase.com/nolock/ [1] http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/b2/58/eb/b258ebc35c2d787394855d20a776d0fa.jpg http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/b2/58/eb/b258ebc35c2d...
