Palisade Glaciers Totally Explained

Everything about Palisade Glaciers totally explained

The Palisade Glacier and the Middle Palisade Glacier are two glaciers on the northeast side of the Palisades in the central Sierra Nevada of California. They are the largest glaciers in the Sierra Nevada. The Palisade Glacier is larger and it's also the southernmost glacier in the United States.
   The Palisade Glacier was created 700 years ago during the Little Ice Age. It is located between 12,000 and 13,400 feet (3,658 - 4,084 meters). It moves at a rate of 23 feet (seven meters) a year, although it's also retreating. Also, the Palisade Glacier is one of the few glaciers in California that terminates in a lake dammed by its former moraine. The lake is a turquoise colour formed by the glacial powder suspended in the water. The Big Pine Lakes below the glacier are also the same colour. Another feature of the glacier is a moulin, and a bergschrund.
   The Middle Palisade Glacier is separated from the nearby Norman Clyde Glacier by a ridge. Even though these are the largest glaciers in the Sierra Nevada, they present climbers with few of the difficulties commonly associated with glacier travel.
