A melting Glacier and flash flooding fears at a Canadian Park on Baffin Island forced officials to evacuate tourists and declare much of the area off-limits.The Auyuittuq National Park on the island's northeast coast recently witnessed record-breaking warmth and substantial amounts of rain, Parks Canada spokeswoman Pauline Scott told Canwest News Service.This summer's events are beyond anything we're used to, Scott said from Iqualuit, Nunavut. This is no doubt a result of climate change.After evacuating 21 tourists, officials declared much of the wilderness reserve closed until geologists and ice experts can assess the fallout from thawing permafrost, eroding lakeshore and a melting Glacier, she said. ...

ANCHORAGE-Bill Stevenson takes a shovel along before heading to work each morning. His commute is a two-mile rutted dirt track connecting his house to the Matanuska Glacier. It's been 15 years since he and his family became caretakers for Jack Kimball, the man who owns Glacier View Park and about 160 acres of land abutting the Glacier's access. You can't be neighbors for that long without absorbing the lay of the land. ...

Fall may be fast approaching, but there is still plenty of time to use your camping gear and visit the Northwest section of Glacier National Park and Polebridge. Plan an adventure this weekend and brave a few miles of jarring dirt road to explore Glacier’s northwest lakes, Kintla and Bowman, from the Poleridge Entrance Station. Bowman is easier to access, stretching six miles through a narrow valley. Explore easy hikes along the lake or more moderate hikes from the western side to Quartz lakes. ...

Sunrise over Swiftcurrent Lake at Glacier National Park The morning I took this photo, I was the only photographer out on the shore of Swiftcurrent Lake for a long time. The gale winds whipping across the lake might have had something to do with it. I had the heavy tripod and ducked into the lee of the hotel; no amount of ballast would have given a sharp shot out in the open. Luckily, the clouds lit up favorably in the only direction that worked with the wind. Amazingly beautiful color peaked 27 minutes prior to this shot. (I'm working on a panorama I made at that time.) The sky went quiet for a few minutes, then the light play among the clouds broke through for a good half hour. I like this one, and many others. The lesson is to be there early and then stay put to see what happens. Sometimes I get lucky. ...

Glacial melt forms Lake Grinnell in Glacier National Park Lake Grinnell is about a 3 mile hike from Many Glaciers Hotel on the east side of Glacier National Park. Some people make a shorter hike out of it by riding the classic wooden boats across Swiftcurrent Lake, transferring to another boat on Lake Josephine, and then hiking about a mile to Lake Grinnell. The trail parallels all three lakes, and we wanted to scout a better kayak portage around a hiker's bridge at the connecting stream's entrance to Swiftcurrent Lake, so we hiked. What a difference a season makes. Last year, at almost the same time, the valleys were filled with smoke from the countless forest fires in the northwest, the streams were low from the drought, and hardly a flower was in bloom. The big snows of last winter changed everything, and we counted several dozen species of wildflowers on the hike. We did see one bear that we are pretty sure was the same individual: a distinctively blond cub last year on the southern slopes above the Many Glaciers Hotel has grown into a massive blond yearling almost as big has the sow it was foraging with. Glacier NP photography has some interesting complications, like the bear factor, road construction, and wind. The classic wide-angle shot of everything in focus from flowers a foot away to the ridgeline will require a lot more time in the Park. I am not complaining, just saying. Even though I'm close to finishing my project, I'm ...
