Two more glaciers gone from Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park has lost two more of its glaciers to climate change and many of the rest may be gone by the end of the decade, a government researcher said Wednesday.

Warmer temperatures have reduced the number of named glaciers in the northwestern Montana park to 25, said Dan Fagre said, an ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

"When we’re measuring glacier margins, by the time we go home the glacier is already smaller than what we’ve measured," Fagre said.
