I've seen the glaciers at Garibaldi first hand. Even now they're still awesome to look at. But before we went go there we took a look at some air photos from over the years and some of the first pictures ever taken of it. The difference was dramatic and fairly shocking. The lake itself was about half the size originally and even in the photos from 50-60 years ago the difference was pretty dramatic. The glacier was still twice the size as when I went and covered the whole side of the mountain down to the lake and pretty much the entire opposite side of the shore. By the time I ended up going there the glacier was about half way up the side of the mountain, the opposite shore was mostly free of ice and had to be about half as wide. It was sad to see but i'm glad I got to see at least what I did. Also, glacial lakes are fucking cool, Garibaldi lake is colour of ice blue koolaid.
