something under the water in the middle of the picture is stopping that curved edge change as the ice melts....interesting.

That glacier is moving fast and dumping a lot of natural history in the water at its edge. I would be interesting to take a quick peek with a robotic submersible and see what is piling up on the ocean floor.

The earth has its own seasons, there have been atleast 3 ice ages that we know of. Who knows maybe the dinosaures were driving too much.

hmmm. I seem to remember a time when glaciers melted before, it's called the natural cycle of the Earths climate change.....go worry about something else.

Most solar powered cameras are set to operated for a year.
On another note, due to the high levels of carbon in the air, the columbia is rapidly dissapearing.
In another 50 yrs it will no longer exist!
