Grinnell Glacier

Grinnell Glacier is in the heart of Glacier National Park in U.S. state of Montana
named for George Bird Grinnell, an early American conservationist and explorer
the most photographed glaciers
Grinnell Glacier is about 7,000 feet
The glacier has obviously retreated substantially
used to be 710 acres but now it was only 220 acres (by 1993) Salamander 57 acres
between 1966 and 2005 Grinnell Glacier lost almost 40% of its acreage
Grinnell will melt by 2030 (greenhouse effect)
The glacier melts and becomes the water, then the water will make the ocean level higher
the way to solve problem: electric car (reduce CO2)
