17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Margerie Glacier in Alaska

This is Margerie Glacier in Glacier Bay, Alaska. Compared to the people in the raft, the glacier looks massive! However, 20 years ago when my parents visited, the glaciers were much larger. They have been receding due to climate change.
