re: #123 Cheechako
I’ve seen the same glacier for about the last 30 years and it sure has retreated a bunch.But I also see the new tree growth that occurs where the glacier was 100 or 200 years ago and it seems like it was moving back faster then. Captain Cook observed these glaciers as tidewater in the mid 1700 and they’ve been retreating ever since. The time lapse pictures are great but don’t particularly show me anything that isn’t a natural event.
