Jackson Glacier
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Jackson_Glacier an entity of type: Thing
Jackson Glacier is approximately the seventh largest of the remaining 25 glaciers in Glacier National Park located in the US state of Montana. A part of the largest grouping of glaciers in the park, Jackson Glacier rests on the north side of Mount Jackson. The glacier was most recently measured in 2005 at 250 acres (1.0 km2), yet when first documented in 1850, the glacier also included the now separate Blackfoot Glacier and together, they covered 1,875 acres (7.59 km2). Between 1966 and 2005, Jackson Glacier lost almost a third of its acreage. When the two mountains were united prior to their separation sometime before 1929, they were known simply as Blackfoot Glacier.

Le glacier Jackson (en anglais : Jackson Glacier) est un glacier situé dans le parc national de Glacier dans l'État du Montana aux États-Unis. Cinquième glacier sur les 27 subsistants dans le parc, il se trouve avec d’autres glaciers sur le flanc nord du mont Jackson sur le versant oriental de la ligne continentale de partage des eaux d'Amérique du Nord. En 1850, il existait environ 150 glaciers dans le parc. Les glaciologues prédisent pourtant qu'ils devraient avoir tous disparus, dont le glacier Jackson, vers 2030.

Between 1966 and 2005, Jackson Glacier lost almost a third of its acreage. When the two mountains were united prior to their separation sometime before 1929, they were known simply as Blackfoot Glacier. In 1850, there were an estimated 150 glaciers in the park. Glaciologists have stated that by the year 2030, many if not all of the glaciers in the park may disappear completely. Jackson and Blackfoot glaciers have been selected for monitoring by the U.S. Geological Survey's Glacier Monitoring Research program, which is researching changes to the mass balance of glaciers in and surrounding Glacier National Park. The glacier is being monitored using remote sensing equipment and , where images of the glacier are taken from identical locations periodically. Jackson Glacier is one of the easiest of the park's glaciers to observe, and is located south of the Going-to-the-Sun Road on the east side of the Continental Divide, upper St. Mary Valley.

Le glacier Jackson (en anglais : Jackson Glacier) est un glacier situé dans le parc national de Glacier dans l'État du Montana aux États-Unis. Cinquième glacier sur les 27 subsistants dans le parc, il se trouve avec d’autres glaciers sur le flanc nord du mont Jackson sur le versant oriental de la ligne continentale de partage des eaux d'Amérique du Nord. En 1993, la superficie du glacier était de 1,02 km2. Avant 1929, le glacier ne faisait qu'un avec le glacier Blackfoot. Ce glacier unique faisait 7,59 km2 mais, à la suite de la fonte des glaces et au retrait des glaciers, celui-ci s'est séparé en deux glaciers différents. Le nom actuel du glacier Jackson n'est apparu qu'en 1929. En 1850, il existait environ 150 glaciers dans le parc. Les glaciologues prédisent pourtant qu'ils devraient avoir tous disparus, dont le glacier Jackson, vers 2030. Les glaciers Jackson et Blackfoot sont surveillés par l'United States Geological Survey pour étudier le retrait des glaciers du parc. Des photos sont ainsi faites périodiquement pour voir les variations de l’étendue de ceux-ci. Le glacier Jackson est une des glaciers les plus facilement accessibles de tout le parc.
