   "When President Taft created Glacier National Park in 1910, it was   
   home to an estimated 150 glaciers. Since then the number has decreased   
   to fewer than 30, and most of those remaining have shrunk in area by   
   two-thirds. Fagre predicts that within 30 years most if not all of the   
   park's namesake glaciers will disappear."   
      
   "Things that normally happen in geologic time are happening during the   
   span of a human lifetime," says Fagre. "It's like watching the Statue   
   of Liberty melt."
