A 1992 to 1998 observation of the Chacaltaya Glacier in Bolivia and Antizana Glacier in Ecuador indicate that between 0.6 m (2.0 ft) and 1.9 m (6.2 ft) of ice was lost per year on each glacier. Figures for Chacaltaya show a loss of 67% of its volume and 40% of its thickness over the same period.
Fragments of Larsen B ice shelf lingered until 2005. Radiocarbon dating has been used to date the start of glacial retreat on Alexander Island 18,000 years ago. [1] The outermost locations like Marguerite Bay were fully deglaciated 12,000 years ago and the further inland locations continued deglaciating for an additional 3,000 years. [1]

The comparison found that the rate of glacial retreat in Greenland during the 21st century has been twice as fast as the retreat in the 20th century. Thousands of Greenland’s glaciers are ...
The Red Eagle Glacier in Montana, following a century of retreat, has dropped below the threshold of an active glacier and become a mere glacieret. [6] Shepard Glacier in Glacier National Park converted to a glacieret in 2009. [7] There are many glacierets on Mount Kenya, ranging from surface areas of 0.01 to 0.09 km 2. [8]
The "Doomsday Glacier," roughly the size of the state of Florida, is one of the largest glaciers in the world. Scientists predict that its collapse could contribute to 65 centimeters, or roughly ...
EIS imagery has appeared in time-lapse videos displayed in the terminal at Denver International Airport; in media productions such as the 2009 NOVA Extreme Ice documentary on PBS; [1] and is the focus of the feature-length film Chasing Ice, directed by Jeff Orlowski, [2] which premiered at the Sundance film festival in Utah on January 23, 2012.

The Bristlecone/Glacier Trail can be used to access the foot of the glacier, and is approximately 4.6 miles (7.4 km) roundtrip. The trailhead can be found at the end of the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive, and climbs from an initial elevation of 9,800 feet (3,000 m) to approximately 10,900 feet (3,300 m).
