American Glaciers ... Going, Going, Gone

Melting glaciers are among the most visible manifestations of climate change. For centuries, glaciers have advanced and retreated in response to natural variations in temperature and precipitation. Today, however, Earth's rapidly warming climate is causing the vast majority to retreat. This ongoing photographic series documents glaciers in the few American states where they still remain, creating a visual record of their changing presence in the American landscape.
