PM: Glacier @ 100 — 5.11.10

Children stand on a dock at Lake McDonald at Glacier National Park in Montana on Tuesday, May 11, 2010. The million-acre park celebrates it's 100 year anniversary Tuesday. But many of its glaciers have melted, and scientists predict the rest may not last another decade. The forests are drier and disease-ridden, leading to bigger wildfires. Climate change is forcing animals that feed off plants to adapt. (Michael Albans / Fr35247 Ap)
