Glacier National Park
Glacier is a natural laboratory and students and scientists use its resources to learn more about the world we live in.
Little Ice Age
The extent of mountain glaciers had been mapped by the late 19th century. In both the north and the south temperate zones, snowlines (the boundaries separating zones of net accumulation from those of net ablation) were about 100 m lower than they were in 1975.[19] In Glacier National Park, the last episode of glacier advance came in the late 18th and early 19th century.[20]
