The plane that the troll refers to was deliberately melted out of the ice, but this was done about 20 years ago. JRW (53) said:

Don't know how they look this year, though. There was a lot of snow last winter. There are some nice ice caves you can see in NW WA State, up past Granite Falls.

Oh, he'll claim it was Phil's fault for that last sentence. Which only had a link... which he didn't have to click on. That's the bad thing about trolls, hard not to feed them, and they derail a whole thread. Great photo Andre, I bet the original one was awe inspiring.

Thanks to the photographer not only for creating it, but by making it interactive as well. And thanks to Phil for sharing it. I do regularly share photos from your blog with my students, and they find them amazing as well. Oops -I got distracted by the GW argument and forgot to comment on the picture which is fantastic.

He did ignore the fact that “a rapid increase of temperatures in the Rockies” is not required, merely more time above freezing to increase the “melt in the summer months”. He did repeatedly fail to acknowledge the difference between” local variations and global averages.” And actually the Glacier Girl story supports GW when examined.

Second the original was more than double of this, but it's just to large for upload (110mb). With modern DSLR when doing the same exercise (60 images were used) you would get even more details... But well I don't have that one... @Ray Bellis: First of all with 4 frames of a modern DSLR you will never catch this detail, believe me… Second the original was more than double of this, but it’s just to large for upload (110mb).
