	Developments in the Crater 1980-2000
		The increase in earthquakes and release of carbon dioxide from Mount St. Helens suggests that the magma chamber beneath the crater may be refilling.
		It is not readily apparent from a distance that glacier ice is present in the crater, but small bodies of ice on the south crater wall behind the Lava Dome have crevasses and flow features, indicating their transformation into glaciers.
		The present crater floor is underlain by porous and permeable, loose landslide debris from the 1980 eruption that caused the upper third of the volcano to collapse.

	USGS: Glaciers of Mount Rainier (Present condition of the glaciers)
		All the glaciers of this type are not represented on the accompanying map (Pl. LXVI), partly for the reason that they merge with indefinite snow fields, and some of them have not been recognized by those to whom we are indebted for the map.
		Carbon Glacier, by enlarging its amphitheater, is slowly destroying the conditions on which its existence depends.
		At the foot of this steep descent Carbon River emerges from a cavern in the ice, as a brown, roaring torrent, heavily encumbered with bowlders.

	Glacia Nova - SLY Pure Glacial Water™
		SLY Pure Glacial Water™ comes directly to you from Mt. Rainier’s Carbon Glacier, a massive river of ice flowing off an active volcano, making it the only glacier in the world known to actually melt from the bottom up.
		The Carbon Glacier is the largest glacier on Mount Rainier and the source for our glacial water.
		The “under-melting” of glacial ice ensures that our glacial water, untouched by the air or underground stream beds, is one of the most pristine, best tasting, and uncontaminated water sources known in the world.

	'Carbon Glacier's' popularity in Europe fires up Veirs' career
		Shortly after "Carbon Glacier," her third album, was released in Europe earlier this year, The Independent described the CD as the "most enthralling album of the year thus far." Veirs (pronounced "Veers") and her band have toured Europe five times this year.
		Backing her are The Tortured Souls, featuring trombonist and keyboardist Steve Moore; guitarist, bassist and singer Karl Blau, and drummer/producer Tucker Martine, who produced "Carbon Glacier" and has collaborated with Bill Frisell, Jim White and Modest Mouse.
		Guest musicians on "Carbon Glacier" (released in the U.S. on Nonesuch Records) included Kang, bassist Keith Lowe and cellist Lori Goldston, who toured with Nirvana.

	GlaciaNova - The Source: Pure Glacier Water from Mt. Rainer
		Virtually all of the bottled water sold in the world is drawn from either municipal water supplies (river, surface reservoir or tap water) or from underground water sources (well water or spring water) – all exposed to varying degrees of contamination through contact with environmental or underground pollutants and chemicals.
		Free from all commercial and residential activities, the Carbon Glacier is the most pristine, best tasting, and uncontaminated water source known in the world and is the sole source of our glacier water.
		The result is pure glacier water with the crisp natural taste of melted ice.

	Carbon Glacier (Washington) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carbon Glacier is located on the north slope of Mount Rainier in the U.S. state of Washington and is the source of the Carbon River.
		The snout at the glacier terminal moraine is at about 3,500 feet (1,066 m) above sea level; the lowest-elevation glacier in the 48 contiguous United States.
		Carbon Glacier is accessible from the northwest Carbon River entrance of Mount Rainier National Park, just outside the town of Carbonado, Washington.

		The trail is pretty flat for the first three miles or so along the Carbon River, with the last.4 miles to the glacier's snout being a bit steeper.
		The highlight of this trip is the view of the snout of the Carbon Glacier (elevation about 3300 ft asl), where the river emits full bore, and the thick mantle of debris on top of the glacier bombards the stupid imbeciles who get too close.
		Follow the Carbon River trail from Ipsut Creek campground (2400 ft asl) about 2.5-3 miles, where it crosses Cataract Creek on a long, single split-log bridge (the creek is very scenic here, rushing over fl bedrock), just beyond Carbon Camp (official tentsites in the woods).

		The creek flows from Kautz Glacier, which is the source of the largest lahar since the establishment of the park in 1899.
		The northwest section of the park is not connected by the main road, but it is worth the effort of driving around to the Carbon River entrance to reach the trailhead for Carbon Glacier Trail, which is also a beginning point of the 150-kilometer Wonderland Trail that encircles Mount Rainier.
		A suspension bridge crosses the Carbon River and leads to the mouth of Carbon Glacier — the glacier at the lowest elevation in the lower 48 states.

		The older of these two, dating from 1835, is represented on the west side of Carbon River by a small ridge several hundred feet above the river (area 10), and at a lower altitude where it is crossed by the old trail (area 11).
		Thus Carbon Glacier has not advanced beyond this part of the valley in several thousand years.
		Steep walls enclosing the narrow Carbon River valley combine with the steeply sloping valley floor to provide forces that have destroyed most moraines that once may have existed, especially on the east side of the valley.

		We then descended onto the Carbon Glacier and began ascending the glacier to the base of the Liberty Ridge route.
		This was a godsend as the whiteout conditions on the glacier would have made routefinding very difficult and slow.
		We found the upper Carbon Glacier to be heavily crevassed and could find only one decent looking snow bridge between a 60-foot-deep crevasse system that led to Liberty Ridge.

		The glacier is a truly unique geological feature, containing the greatest volume of ice and reaching the lowest elevation of any glacier in the United States outside of Alaska.
		Every year it gets longer as the Carbon Glacier retreats a little farther up the valley, and one day the ice might not be there at all.
		In general, glaciers grow when more snow accumulates than is able to melt in a given year and shrink when the opposite occurs.

	12/06/01 -- Study Suggests Mars Ice Caps Eroding
		WASHINGTON (AP) - Vast fields of carbon dioxide ice are eroding from the poles of Mars, suggesting that the climate of the Red Planet is warming and the atmosphere is becoming slightly more dense.
		But the new study suggests that a dense cap of frozen carbon dioxide thought to be permanent at each of the Mars poles may not be all that permanent, said Caplinger.
		He said the photos suggest that the polar caps are dense slabs of frozen carbon dioxide that may have been deposited over centuries, much like the way seasonal snow on Earth accumulates to form a glacier.

		Carbon Glacier is one of those rare, perfect albums that drew me in at first listen - clean, intricate guitar work augmented by layers of gorgeous, emotionally evocative melody and visually potent lyrics.
		The best comparison I can think of for "Carbon Glacier" would be to put Sufjan Stevens, Nellie McKay, and The Resident's "Eskimo" into a blender and mix it up.
