[edit] Information

Glaciers are one of Earth's greatest phenomena - rivers of ice flowing from the mountains, sometimes reaching the oceans. From the white thunder of calving tidewater glaciers to the frigid world of tiny ice worms, join USGS scientists as they investigate and explore the wonders of Alaska's rivers of ice. Viewers will learn about the distribution of the world's glaciers, the formation of glacier ice, the glacier ecosystem, the role glaciers play in global sea level change, the features produced by glacier erosion and deposition, and much more.
Please note that this 90 minute educational video is not the sort of documentary that you will see on television but rather, it is the sort of video you might see if you attended a geology class. It provides a very detailed lesson in glacial geology, using Alaskan glaciers as an example.
