June 30, 2005. Hatcher Pass, Alaska. The remains of the glacier. This is southern Alaska with similar conditions as the Juneau Ice Fields. At one time the Glaciologists stated they had 100 years before this level of demise. As of last year is was 50 years. Now, with the ionic vortices still at work in the troposphere the worst is being realized. There is a drought in Alaska with no recharge of it's glaciers while the temperatures rise.
