Endangered travel destinations around the world
世界各地的瀕危旅游目的地

      Many of the world's most wondrous and beautiful destinations are in danger of being destroyed by a combination of environmental and social factors: a warming climate, pollution, strained resources, bulging populations, and booming tourist traffic. Below are some popular locations worth visiting before they disappear.

      世界上許多最奇妙和最美麗的旅游目的地正處于被環(huán)境和社會(huì)綜合因素毀壞的危險(xiǎn)中：氣候變暖，污染，資源緊張，人口膨脹，和日益增加的旅游交通。以下就是一些即將消失，特別值得一游的熱門(mén)景點(diǎn)。

 
Glaciers, Glacier National Park
United States and Canada

      Glacier National Park contains some of the most beautiful, primitive wilderness in the Rocky Mountains. There are more than 200 glacier-fed lakes, high peaks, sheer precipices, large forests, waterfalls, much wildlife, and a great variety of wildflowers. However, temperature fluctuations have caused glacier growth and depletion. Ten thousand years ago, the area of Glacier National Park was covered by ice up to one mile below sea level. The latest warm period has caused the number of glaciers to decrease from 150 in 1850 to 26 today. If current global warming trends continue, there will be no glaciers left in Glacier National Park by 2030.

冰川，GJ冰川公園
美國(guó)和加拿大
      在落基山脈的GJ冰川公園中仍可見(jiàn)到一些最美麗，最原始的荒野景色。這里有200多個(gè)冰川湖泊，高聳的山峰，陡峭的懸崖斷壁，大片的森林，瀑布，大量的野生動(dòng)植物，以及種類(lèi)繁多的野花。然而，溫度的波動(dòng)引起冰川增長(zhǎng)和消融。一萬(wàn)年以前，GJ冰川公園低于海平面的地區(qū)被厚達(dá)一英里的冰層覆蓋。最近的暖期已導(dǎo)致冰川數(shù)量從1850年的150個(gè)下降到今天的26個(gè)。如果目前的全球變暖趨勢(shì)繼續(xù)下去，到2030年GJ冰川公園就再也見(jiàn)不到冰川了。
