Two hikers, Emmons Glacier, Little Tahoma, Burroughs Mountain Trail, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA

Two hikers, Emmons Glacier, and Little Tahoma seen on Burroughs Mountain Trail, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA. For vigorous training, hike Burroughs Mountain 10 mile loop, 3200 feet ascent, from White River Campground up Glacier Basin Trail, back via Shadow Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Global warming and climate change: Mount Rainier’s glaciers shrank 22% by area and 25% by volume between 1913 and 1994 in conjunction with rising temperatures (Nylen 2004). As of 2009, monitored glaciers are continuing to retreat (NPS). Over the last century, most glaciers have been shrinking across western North America (Moore et al. 2009) and the globe (Lemke et al. 2007) in association with increasing temperatures.
