Lyell Glacier Ceases Movement, Adjacent Maclure Glacier Moving at Historical Rate

The Lyell Glacier, the largest glacier in Yosemite National Park, has stagnated, or ceased its downhill movement, according to a recent study conducted by scientists from the National Park Service and the University of Colorado. The adjacent Maclure Glacier is still moving at its historical rate, about one inch per day. https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/news/lyellglacier.htm
