Album caption and index card: South Cascade Glacier, North Cascade Range. Photo no. 8 was taken presumably in the autumn of 1928. Photo no. 9 was taken September 23, 1965. Note that the transient snowline is very near the same position in 1965 as in 1928, so that accumulation areas for both years are similar in size. The higher altitude glaciers and perennial snowfields shown in these photos have changed very little in size. However, because the exposed ice areas below the equilibrium line were much larger in 1928, ice loss would be much greater in 1928 than in 1965 even with similar meteorological conditions. Most of the mass loss in the 1928-65 interval occurred below the present equilibrium line. Chelan and Skagit...

Album caption and index card: Wolverine Glacier. The glacier heads in a broad basin but terminates in a narrow gorge. Crevasses indicate this glacier is flowing quite rapidly. Relatively little retreat in recent decades is demonstrated by the narrow areas of recently exposed bedrock along the margins of the ice. Seward district, Alaska Gulf region, Alaska. September 3, 1966. (Aerial photo) Published as plate 2-B in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 715-A. 1971.
