HotspotPanoramaOverlayTextImage_EA6E0BC9_4C37_EB49_41B7_24602718BC80.text = Notice the difference between snow cover (white) bare ice (blue).With warming temperatures, snow melts earlier, which exposes darker ice surfaces and leads to increased melt and glacier mass loss.

Glacier meltwater is especially important during low flows and high stream temperatures in the summer. Glacier-fed streams will become increasingly important in mitigating the aquatic impacts of heatwaves until the glaciers are gone. \ \ Heatwaves cause an increase in glacial melt, so at some point, the meltwater contributions from these glaciers will cease. \ HotspotPanoramaOverlayTextImage_E9EA6C43_4C2D_ACB0_41C5_278EAC2B6B25.text = to Camp Kiser ## Media ### Floorplan ### Image
