| Canadian Rockies Glaciers | The demise of Rae Glacier. Shown is the rapid transition from 1985; to 1990 when repetitive negative mass balance years decimated the remaining mass of ice; and finally, to 2024, when all that was left were scant remnants of ice on the cirque backwall. RIP Rae Glacier.
