Track Modern-Day Glaciers with Glacier Works

Ever wish you could look through a lens to see what things were like 100 years ago?  One site, GlacierWorks has made that possible for geologists studying glaciers.

"Founded by acclaimed mountaineer, photographer, and filmmaker David Breashears, GlacierWorks is a non-profit organization that vividly illustrates the changes to Himalayan glaciers through art, science, and adventure."

Explore maps of modern-day glaciers, learn about the rivers and local cultures surrounding the glacial sites, learn about the history of the glacier research teams, immerse yourself in 360° breath-taking photos of Himalayan mountain views, and best of all, interact with pictures that show the before and after views of the glaciers over a 50-100 year period.

This site would be an excellent discussion starter for your students, getting them to realize the minimal or vast changes that can happen over a human lifetime or a geological "eye-blink".
