Glacier National Park

The permanent ice caps all around the planet were predicted to be among the first regions to be impacted by climate change, and we are already witnessing this. Glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate around the globe, from the Andes to the Arctic to the Himalayas, and we still don't fully comprehend its impacts.

The most severely impacted park in the United States is Glacier National Park in Montana. One of the first national parks established in the US, it continues to rank among the top ski destinations worldwide, not just in the US.

When the park was established in 1910, a count revealed that there were approximately 100 enormous glaciers there. Only a few of them today might even be classified as glaciers. Some of the greatest glaciers in the park may have lost up to 80% of their area between 1966 and 2015. This is anticipated to worsen in the upcoming years as global temperatures continue to rise.
