GLACIER COUNTRY Experience See Walk in flora "...as beautiful, as mysterious, as rich in elemental spirit as any left on earth." See rare forest and seabird species. Seal colonies too! Fish fertile waters. All in one place! South Westland will change forever the way you think of the environment. WELCOME TO GLACIER COUNTRY ! Here you are in some of the most special and beautiful country in the world and that's why this region has been given World Hertiage Park Status. Our glaciers are in a period of dramatic advance at present making this a particularly exciting time to be here. What is so special about these glaciers is that they descend almost into the forest a mere 12 kilometres from the sea. Twelve kilometres in the opposite direction takes us to the top of New Zealand's highest peaks! Glaciers have shaped all of this country. Beautiful lakes have been left behind by previous ice age retreats and the low hills are old moraines. There are many ways for the traveller to experience "Glacier Country", no matter what your fitness level or budget or the weather! Below are some suggestions of things to do and help to find accommodation, operators running activities, good food, shopping, services and facilities.

USGS/Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, Washington DESCRIPTION: Glaciers and Glacier Hazards Glaciers and Ice Sheets and Volcanic Eruptions Glaciers Glaciers, Climate, and Volcanoes Tuyas, Glaciers, and Sub-Glacial Volcanic Eruptions Glacial Lake Missoula Hoodoo Mountain, Canada Mount Hood, Oregon Mount Rainier, Washington Glaciers From: Driedger, 1986, A Visitor's Guide to Mount Rainier Glaciers: Pacific Northwest National Parks and Forests Association Glaciers exist where, over a period of years, snow remains after summer's end. They exist in environments of high and low precipitation and in many temperature regimes; they are found on all the continents except Australia and they span the globe from high altitudes in equatorial regions to the polar ice caps. There is a delicate balance between climatic factors that allows snow to remain beyond its season. ... Scientists and skiers alike can note that within a few days of falling, snowflakes have noticeably begun to change. ... The snowflakes are compressed under the weight of the overlying snowpack. Individual crystal near the melting point have slick liquid edges allowing them to glide along other crystal planes and to readjust the space between them. Where the crystals touch they bond together, squeezing the air between them to the surface or into bubbles. During summer we might see the crystal metamorphosis occur more rapidly because of water percolation between the crystals. By summer's end the result is firn a compacted snow with the appearance of wet sugar, but with a hardness that makes it resistant to all but the most dedicated snow shovelers! Several years are usually required for the snow to settle and to season into the substance we call

Glaciers: Clues to Future Climate By Richard S. Williams, Jr., This out-of-print General-Interest Publication has been made available in Portable Document Format. A glacier is a large mass of ice having its genesis on land and represents a multiyear surplus of snowfall over snowmelt. At the present time, perennial ice covers about 10 percent of the land areas of the Earth. Although glaciers are generally thought of as polar entities, they also are found in mountainous areas throughout the world, on all continents except Australia, and even at or near the Equator on high mountains in Africa and South America.

From Natalie Pawelski CNN Sci-Tech (CNN) A new study indicates that glaciers in Alaska are melting faster than previously thought, providing further evidence of global warming, researchers said Thursday. Scientists have long warned that global warming when heat-trapping gases force atmospheric temperatures to rise could eventually raise sea levels to a dangerous point by melting ice sheets and glaciers. CNN NewsPass VIDEO CNN's Natalie Pawelski reports a new study indicates that glaciers in Alaska are melting faster than previously thought (July 18) Play video "The whole issue of global climate change is important to everyone," said glacier expert Anthony Arendt of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. "The whole issue of sea-level change affects people who live near the coast quite directly. Just small changes in sea level can cause very large incursions of water up along the coast and can destroy valuable property there. It can move people away from their homes."

Manage alerts What is this? MILAN, Italy (Reuters) The world's glaciers could melt within a century if global warming accelerates, leaving billions of people short of water and some islanders without a home, environmentalists said. "Unless governments take urgent action to prevent global warming, billions of people worldwide may face severe water shortages as a result of the alarming melting rate of glaciers, the WWF group said in a report Thursday. It said human impact on the climate was melting glaciers from the Andes to the Himalayas, bringing longer-term threats of higher sea levels that could swamp island states. Officials from 180 nations will meet in Milan on December 1-12 to discuss international efforts to rein in a rise in global temperatures, blamed by scientists on emissions of gases from factories and cars that are blanketing the planet.

40. Glaciers, Rivers Of Ice Composition of a typical Glacier and the types of glaciers. How a glacier moves. Where are the World s glaciers? Where have they been? http://members.aol.com/scipioiv/glmain.html

Glaciers This website is devoted to my interest in the rivers of ice known as glaciers. It was inaugurated as part of the requirements of a course I have taken in the geology of National Parks, but I've been always fascinated by the idea of ice flowing like a river, scouring the landscape in its wake, nature's force in slow, glacial motion. I've never seen a glacier firsthand, alas, but hopefully one day that will change. I think that my best bet may be Mt. Rainier. I have even bought a Kodak travel video of Mt. Rainier National Park. My page may change at a glacial pace, but it was last modified 05-Jul-2003 10:08 AM In the meantime, here, you can explore this fascinating world of the rivers of ice in a virtual manner, and even find information on National Parks which feature glaciers, or landscapes once carved by them. You will also therein the geology of the various types of glaciers, from what is a glacier to how they work, to features in landscapes created by glaciers. I recommend going through the pages in order, even if you do know some geology. In my research to put up this site, I learned lots of interesting information I had never even suspected about glaciers. Perhaps you'll be pleasantly surprised as well. I would like to thank everyone, teachers, parents and students alike, who have visited my site. As always, please feel free to
