Lake McDonald, Glacier National Park

I found this video segment from ABC News about the status of the glaciers in Glacier National Park, Montana. This park holds a personal interest for me as this one one of the first National Parks that our family visited back in 1999. I remember taking tons of pictures of the glaciers with my manual 35 mm Pentax camera. I am very glad that I will always have these photographic memories of this beautiful park.

In the video, the reporter takes us on a tour of the remaining glaciers in the park, with many helicopter shots.

Toward the end of the video there are some exact photographic comparisons of the glaciers from many years ago to present.

Scientists are now concerned that the park could completely lose all of its remaining glaciers by the year 2020. Earlier projections estimated 2030.

Here is the link to the video.
