Compare and contrast the number of glaciers and moraine fields that lie on either side of the National Forest and Wilderness Boundary (also labeled National Park Boundary) that runs roughly north and south from Mt. Darwin to the top of the map. East-facing slopes receive sunlight in the morning when the air is cooler, and west-facing slopes receive sunlight in the afternoon when the air is warmer. Would you expect to find more on the west-facing or east-facing slopes? How many did you find on each side?
South of Goethe Lake find Mount Goethe on Figure 25.3 (topographic map) and Figure 25.4 (NAIP photo).
What will be an ideal response?
The cooler eastern-facing slopes should have more glaciers and moraine fields. There are more on the east.
