The U.S. Geological Survey's Repeat Photography initiative compares historical and modern photographs to study the effects of a changing climate on glaciers and landscapes. The photographs here and below were made in southern Alaska, including Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Kenai Fjords National Park, and the northwestern Prince William Sound area of the Chugach National Forest.

Of the 14 glaciers documented here, only two are advancing.
