Terrifying Photos That Demonstrate The Effects of Climate Change

Glacier National Park: Then

Glacier National Park is located in the U.S. state of Montana. It encompasses over one million acres and includes parts from two sub-mountain ranges of the Rocky Mountains. It also has over 130 named lakes, and over 1,000 species of plants and hundreds of species of animals. Its region used to be inhabited by Native Americans, mostly the Blackfeet and Flathead tribes. There are many tourist attractions as well as hotels and chalets that are now National Historic Landmark. Due to massive glacial action, there has been a U-shape carved into the valleys, leaving behind lakes. It is estimated that over 150 glaciers existed in the park during the 19th Century.
