Athabasca glacier.
In the past 125 years this glacier has lost over half of its volume and every year its depth decreases by 5 meters. The glacier is approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) long and is measured to be between 90–300 metres (300–980 ft) thick.

Величие оставшейся половины
Ледник Атабаска
В последние 125 лет этот ледник потерял половину своего объема и каждый год глубина его уменьшается на 5 метров. Длина ледника - около 6 км, а толщина - от 90 до 300 метров.
