Retreating Yukon glacier makes river disappear

The picture being used by CBC is of my dogs at Kluane Lake at the end of May, looking west up the Slims River valley. In the picture, you can see where the water levels usually are.



When I visited again in early June, Slim's River was completely dry and there was a sandstorm blowing across the lake.
The mudflats visible in this picture were usually under water.
