Siachen Glacier

Glaciers were once present in Minnesota thousands of years ago, and as they retreated, they left behind large amounts of glacial meltwater and various landforms still present to this day. A glacier is a massive piece of ice that completely destroys everything in its path. A glacier is formed when snow is present in a location for a long period of time, long enough to freeze all together to be conjoined into a massive chunk of ice. Glaciers are usually formed on a high elevation location. When on…

Ice caps are slowly diminishing around the world because of numerous problems. First of all, when the ice caps thaw seasonally then rebuild, they are no longer rebuilding back, because there is less snowfall and more heat, as shown in Figure C. When ice caps melt, sea levels rise which can disturb the migration pattern of animals, alter ecosystems, and make people move out of their homes because of flooding. it can also threaten many islands and coastal cities. An estimate by NASA is that polar…

forms at the edge of a glacier and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off) are breaking a flood has taken over cities and towns!! Lives are at risk .The flood waters (flood waters are water overflowing as the result of a flood) poured into Lake Columbia and made major spillways. Which those spillways created scablands. Scablands are flat elevated land deeply scarred by channels of glacial or fluvioglacial is a variety of landforms are associated with meltwater from glaciers, including…

CLAIM: The Arctic region’s history does not make the front page of news articles or magazines very often. Therefore, many people are not aware of how this once glorious region has a devastating history, especially in the past century. To compare the Arctic’s history from its last, scientists measure the sea ice covering peak around the time of late-March, as well as the nadir in the ice coverage around mid-September. EVIDENCE: in 2018, the final recording of the Arctic ice coverage was “5.59…

world from my home in Massachusetts, the wilderness of New Zealand reached out to me. The hours before had been full of adventure as my father and I had trekked to both the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers. The final trip had not even been part of our plan, but as we drove through the quaint mountain town of Fox Glacier a blue sign signaled the route to the reflecting pool of Mount Cook. As we began the walk the vaunted Lake Matheson looked no different from the small New England ponds which had…

monuments, which were both extravagant. Throughout the summer, we were given days off, and we chose to use these days by further exploring Montana. We went on several hikes, including a ten mile round trip hike in Glacier National Park. We drove Going to the Sun Road from the West side of Glacier to the East side where we parked and backpacked five miles in to Otokomi Lake. We camped at the Otokomi Campground, which was amazing. There was a waterfall running into the lake and a river full of…

Blackfeet Nation Cultural Paper “The Blackfeet people have occupied the Rocky Mountain region for more than 10,000 years” (Blackfeet Nation, n.d.)

However, the Tribal council does it’s best to preserve and continue the cultural traditions today. It is on the reservation that the preservation of the Blackfeet…

“When the glaciers are gone, they are gone,” (McKibben 7). Due to the climate change and global warming, our glaciers are melting faster than ever. Most believe that human activity, in particular, the burning of fossil fuels and the resulting buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, have influenced this warming trend. This warming trend is affecting many aspects of our world. Glacier National Park was created in 1910, it was estimated to be home of 150 glaciers. Since then, it has…
