Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Harrison Glacier is located in the U.S. state of Montana in Glacier National Park.Situated on a southeast facing ridge immediately south of Mount Jackson, Harrison Glacier is the largest glacier in Glacier National Park and was estimated in 2010 to have an area of 466 acres (1.89 km2). Though many experts have stated that all the glaciers in Glacier National Park may disappear by the year 2030, Harrison Glacier lost only 9 percent of its surface area in the 40 year period between 1966 and 2005 and will likely still exist well beyond 2030.Compared to many of the vanishing glaciers in Glacier National Park, Harrison Glacier has a much higher altitude accumulation zone (approximately 9,000 feet (2,700 m)) which has allowed it to maintain some equilibrium in its glacier mass balance.
