I am a bit curious how a location with the average mean temperature of -70 degrees F and had the lowest recorded temp of -129 degrees F, can melt? The South Pole’s highest temp was -9 and only on the peninsula has it ever reached above freezing at +59 and that was just once.

Sublimation? :>} Not really “melting”. Still, why isn’t anybody addressing the disappearance of the Yosemite Valley area glaciers? What a travesty. Of course when the situation turns around and we have advancing glaciers, THEN someone might be a little concerned.
