Victor Trautman's high school geology class visited LeConte Glacier on Wednesday. Students learned about glacial moraines, the history and impact of glacial movement throughout the region and how the LeConte Bay shorelines were carved away as the rock laden ice grated across the granite surfaces. Pictured are: (left to right) back row, instructor Victor Trautman, Anders Christensen, Jack Byrer, Charles Christensen, Chase Lockhart and McKay Jones; middle row, Maria Pfundt, Henry Short, Shyla Cook (hidden) Nick Hofstad and Franklin Neidiffer; front row, Peter Kowalski, Madison Whitethorn, Eva Lenhard and Meghyn Parker.
