Glacial Lake Missoula Chapter Launches Revised Website
The website first created in 2002 by the Montana Natural History Center for the Glacial Lake Missoula Chapter has been resurrected with additional photos and revised text. The replacement can be found at the original website address: GlacialLakeMissoula.org
For the last decade or so the old site was not only out of date but could not be accessed to make additions or corrections. Many others have created sites in the meantime, each with its own approach to the story of the role of ancient Lake Missoula and its relation to the ice age floods, some more complete and accurate than others. Finally, with the technical wizardry of the staff at the Montana Natural History Center and the skills and advice of Kara Shapiro of Corvid Studio, a local website design consultant, a replacement has emerged utilizing the original address.
This site is not meant to replace the others, but to draw together many resources that exist as a base for further exploration. It is intended to inform those completely new to Glacial Lake Missoula or the Ice Age Floods as well as those with interest in additional local details. The objective was to keep the site relatively short and simple. Except for the overview, the information that can be found on other sites is not repeated but is linked for easy reference. Others are invited to link to our site as well.
Although this time there is the ability to update the site, information about current events and field trips is left to the Glacial Lake Missoula Facebook page or the calendar and events posted on the Ice Age Floods Institute site or newsletter.
