Kluane Lake - summer 2016

Kluane Lake has been getting lower in recent years. In May the water levels were very low. Apparently the Kuskawalsh Glacier has changed and the water is running to the south rather than to the east via the Slims River.

Geologists say this is the new normal - this change was predicted many years ago. Kluane Lake is now 4-5 feet lower than the past averages for this time of year.
