MELTING RIVERS OF ICE: DENALI'S SHRINKING GLACIERS
(Time 3:00)

• PowerPoint (12.4 MB)

Park scientists created this slide presentation as an exhibit for the Eielson Visitor Center, some 66 miles from the park entrance. It compares historic photos, taken by scientists such as Stephen R. Capps as long ago as 1916, with contemporary images of five glaciers to illustrate how Denali’s glaciers have changed over the last century – The Kahiltna Glacier shows significant thinning and some adjacent smaller glaciers have disappeared. Hidden Creek Glacier shows significant retreat. A view of Muldrow Glacier shows the loss of hanging glaciers on Mount Brooks. Sunset Glacier and nearby hanging glaciers have thinned and retreated. The East Teklanika Glacier has lost approximately 980 feet (300 m) of thickness and has experienced significant retreat. In conclusion, the presentation asks visitors to consider how climate change may affect Denali’s glaciers over the next century.
