- derbOac 3y agoGoing to the Harding Icefield every 10 years or so has been sobering. The drive to the foot of the glacier is telling enough, with markers of where the glacier was at different years as you drive in. But hiking to find the edge of the icefield and realizing how far you have to go this time makes you viscerally aware of climate change and loss of ice.
