This page is being put together for an education project on the Nisqually Glacier,
sponsored by the National Park Service,
centering on
an 11-minute video, ( alternate download)
This page is perhaps the best source of historic topo maps for the Nisqually Glacier.
It also contains more reference materials for the video, which wemay eventually expand.
Data for the animation:
