University of Oregon

Caption

Video made from time-lapse photos taken daily from March 31, 2016, to Aug. 8, 2016 from LeConte Glacier camp. The glacier moves from right to left, with the ice front, or terminus, retreating backwards as summer progresses, even as ice flows rapidly towards the ice front.
