Shepard Glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana.,
first in 1913, top, and then in 2005,
reveal the dramatic change
as the glacier has all but disappeared.
A glacier cries ‘Not more sun!’
‘I’m sorry, I’m going to run
with gallons of water
when really I oughter
be building up ice by the tonne’.
(Glaciers are melting at enormous speed. This is leading to sea-level rise, failure of hydro- electric schemes, which rely on inland glaciers, where there is insufficient power to turn turbines and massive risk to polar wildernesses)
