Was thinking about glacial retreat and recalled this thread. Was up at Wedgemount again this Summer. Comparing to cdanes' images from 2004/05, as well as to 1976 and 1990, the recession continues. A friend went up with Karl Ricker recently to document the quantity of the retreat (~19m in the past year, apparently). Yikes.
