Video graphically documents demise of Glacier Park glaciers

Glaciers in Glacier National Park are disappearing.

ENVIRONMENT — In 1910 when Glacier National Park was created there were about 150 glaciers. By 2030, they will all have disappeared.

This short MSNBC Shift video compiling federal government photos of the glaciers past and present rams home the point.

This might be a good summer to get on board with the effort to confront climate change.

It’s also the summer you should put visiting Glacier Park’s ice fields on your backpacking bucket list.

Don’t wait too long.
