Peru's "White Mountain Range" turning brown- the glaciers are melting.

I wonder if the names of places will have to change soon. I mean, if the "White Mountain Range" is brown, it doesn't make much sense, does it. And here in the US, "Glacier National Park" is starting to sound pretty silly.

"The ice atop Cordillera Blanca, the largest glacier chain in the tropics, is melting fast because of rising temperatures, and peaks are turning brown. The trend is highlighting fears of global warming and, scientists say, is endangering future water supplies to the arid coast where most Peruvians live. " LINK

"There could be no glaciers in Montana’s Glacier National Park by 2050." LINK
