Glacier National Park,2009. Image 2 of 2. Glacier National Park is located in Montana,USA. The image,taken in 2009,shows Blackfoot glacier (left) and Jackson glacier (right). When this photo is compared to one taken in 1914 from an identical spot (see image C014/5603) it is apparent that the two glaciers have greatly receded. Glaciers are large,slow-moving expanses of ice,formed from compacted layers of snow. They are sensitive to climate change and in recent years most have retreated dramatically | |
