Mossback's Northwest

Our Glaciers: The Long Goodbye

Season 11 Episode 8 | 7m 20s | CC

Nothing has defined the Northwest more than the massive rivers of ice we know as glaciers. Mary Vaux Walcott, an amateur scientist and photographer, was one of the first to measure their steady retreat starting in the 1880s. National parks, lodges and rail routes have long provided access to these frozen attractions, but climate change is dramatically altering the landscape.
