Six weeks of change at Exit Glacier timelapse (2016)
A six week timelapse of the terminus (toe) of Exit Glacier from September 2 to October 14, 2016.
On August 15, the outflow creek changed course from a canyon to the south to the terminus itself. This change led to a significant melt and retreat of the terminus.
This timelapse shows 6 weeks of glacial movement. Glaciers are moving bodies of ice, and this timelapse helps show that constant forward movement, even while ice is being lost at the terminus.
The 2016 annual retreat of Exit Glacier was measured at 293 ft (83.9m), with 252 feet (76.8 m) occurring in the 5 month summer season.
