As a geologist, Greg Stock never imagined he'd witness the death of a glacier. The Lyell Glacier is Yosemite National Park's largest ice mass, and Stock has been researching it for more than a decade.

Guest: Daniel Duane, San Francisco-based author. His essay What Remains was published in The California Sunday Magazine on April 4.
