Voted 10/10 | what's the elevation of the terminus of this glacier? gotta love a climate that can support a glacier that size below 6000 feet!
cheers,

Hasn't voted | .....but ~1300m (~4000 ft). This slope is north facing and only 15km from the Pacific Ocean. It - and mountains with similar aspects on the island - receive huge winter snow accumulations. That's not to say that our glaciers aren't receding of course but they're probably doing better than most.
Cheers,

Voted 10/10 | The glacier looks much more impressive in your pic than the same time this year. The crevasses still have snow! | | Posted Sep 19, 2007 1:19 pm |

Hasn't voted | For sure. I noticed this from Phillips Ridge on the way to the Hinde last month - way more snow on the Taylor Glacier.
My Hinde write up and TR show some good, albeit distant, examples.
All the best,
