Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Darwin Glacier is a mountain glacier located on the north side of Mount Darwin in the Sierra Nevada, California. The glacier is located in Kings Canyon National Park. The glacier inherited its name from Mount Darwin, named for Charles Robert Darwin. In 2004, a study found that since 1900, Darwin Glacier had lost half its surface area.A glacier is a large persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.
