Human feces in Denali glaciers is heading downhill fast
It won't take hundreds or thousands of years for climbers' waste dumped in glacier crevasses on Denali to show up on the glacier surface, say Alaska Pacific University researchers. It could start happening in as little as 15 to 25 years, reports the Alaska Public Radio Network. The accumulation of climber feces -- about 65 tons of it so far -- has Denali National Park rangers debating the prospect of forcing climbers to carry out all their deposits.
