[pct-l] Mt. Shasta Glaciers Growing

[Suzannah Swinehart]

Interesting article, Postholer. I had heard that the glacier on *Mt St Helens* was the only one in the continental US to be growing, in part because it's mostly inside the crater and therefore protected by the shade. The author of this article doesn't mention Helens - I wonder if it's stopped growing, or just got overlooked?
