A glacier is surging

Story at a glance:


  • A glacier in Denali is experiencing a surge event
    • Glaciers move due to the ice on the base becoming wet from heat.

    • Muldrow Glacier has not moved this fast since the 1950s.
    • ===================
The old song 'Tie Up The Boat in Idaho' was in reference to W Coast earthquakes but it might as well have to do with global warming & the rise of sea levels.
