That tells me that it isn, mixing with the surface, much.
Which explains why it takes several hundred years for a complete turn over, which probably happens for two brief periods each year when the entire lake is at 4C.

Evidently the glacier has not been the major source of water. Let's put it this way. The Columbia glacier loses 2 tonnes of ice per year, but the amount of rain in the area amounts to 2 million tonnes of water. Therefore the ice melting accounts for 0.0001% of the total water leaving the area.
You are talking to a globull warming truther.
Alpine glaciers reached their maximum extent within the past 500 years. They are perpetually shrinking and growing. We have a long way to go to parallel the losses of the past. Hydro dams rely on winter snow pack to refill every spring not glaciers.
I would have thought that they reached their peak about 20,000 years ago when they were component of the great continental glaciers that have gradually receded (still receding in Greenland, Antarctica, the Arctic Archipelago. )
So, if they only just peaked 500 years ago, presumably they weren't around much before that, they they got bigger and peaked recently.
Boy, I'd like to see that link. I suppose,if you believe in Noah's flood, ...
Turn off you computer. The intetweb uses 10% of the world's energy.
