IMG_7229 Jackson Glacier, Autumn, Glacier National Park

Jackson Glacier is usually snow covered in summer. This one is taken in late September and the crevasse (crack) can then be seen.

 

It is estimated glaciers in this park will be all gone by 2030. You may see the animation in the following link:
