South Cascade Glacier - Gone in a century?

Today's Wenatchee World has an article about the South Cascade Glacier. Scientists are saying that the glacier is melting so fast that it may be gone in a century. The glacier is one of the few in the world that is currently being studied.<br><br>Unfortunately, I don't have any more information than that, because on-line access to the Wenatchee World requires a subscription: www.wenworld.com

If anybody out there has access to this article on-line, would you mind sending me a copy by private message? Otherwise, I'll look for it the next time I visit the U.W. library. (The information above was from a blurb on KUOW radio.)

FWIW, here is a before-and-after shot of the glacier from my webstory about the Ptarmigan Traverse:

Lowell,<br><br>That blurb even made the Q13 Fox news.<br><br>

It's an AP story, and should be accessible elsewhere .<br>

Thanks Mark. Somebody over at cc.com also found the A.P. story. (I should have seen it in the Times this morning, but my paper was a soggy mass of pulp.) I think the A.P. version is an extract, which was derived from a longer story that appeared in the Wenatchee World on Sunday. I've added it to my to-do list to look up the original next time I visit the U.W. library.

There was a story about it in the Leavenworth online paper. Not sure if it is the same as what came out of the Wenatchee paper, but fyi.....<br><br>www.heraldnet.com/stories/04/09/13/wir_glacier001.cfm
