Mount Hood's Ice

 The big news: about Mt Hood ice is a cave system that has been recently discovered under Sandy Glacier. Here is an OPB Radio segment if you're interested in the caving!

The News I found super cool:
Spatial and morphological change on Eliot Glacier, Mount
Hood, Oregon, USA 
                Here is a PDF of information about the changes and study of Eliot Glacier. Eliot Glacier is famous in Hood River County, and important to me because I can see it out my living room window. After reading chapter four about snow and ice, I was interested to see what is happening on Mt Hood. The analysis of changes on Eliot Glacier begins on page 6. The result seems to be that the glacier is receding.
