Endangered travel destinations around the world
世界各地的濒危旅游目的地
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.
世界上许多最奇妙和最美丽的旅游目的地正处于被环境和社会综合因素毁坏的危险中：气候变暖，污染，资源紧张，人口膨胀，和日益增加的旅游交通。以下就是一些即将消失，特别值得一游的热门景点。
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，国家冰川公园
美国和加拿大
在落基山脉的国家冰川公园中仍可见到一些最美丽，最原始的荒野景色。这里有200多个冰川湖泊，高耸的山峰，陡峭的悬崖断壁，大片的森林，瀑布，大量的野生动植物，以及种类繁多的野花。然而，温度的波动引起冰川增长和消融。一万年以前，国家冰川公园低于海平面的地区被厚达一英里的冰层覆盖。最近的暖期已导致冰川数量从1850年的150个下降到今天的26个。如果目前的全球变暖趋势继续下去，到2030年国家冰川公园就再也见不到冰川了。
