When you're on the ice, you have very little time, you see very little, and everything happens really quick.
This air we breathe is precious, and the glaciers helped me understand that and stay focused on that.
The prediction that glaciers will be gone from Glacier National Park has been moved up by 10 years to 2020, the same year it's predicted the Arctic Sea will be ice-free in the summer.
