User / Katy on the Tundra / Receding Kluane Lake
3,156 items
Kluane Lake is shrinking.. and shrinking fast.

The Kaskawulsh Glacier on the southeast end of the lake has retreated to the point where its melt water is now going in a completely different direction, away from the Slims River that is Kluane's main water source.

Slims River has essentially dried up, and Kluane is shrinking, exposing great expanses of sand/silt/mudflats.
