Glaciers and glacier travel: Background for hikers Rivers of Ice Glaciers can be an obstacle for hikers and mountaineers or they may be the objective. A river of ice: This sense of a glacier is often more clear from a distance. What is a Glacier? Quite briefly, it's a permanent, moving body of ice. Or, as it's often phrased, a river of ice. Glaciers are formed when snow falls in an environment so cold that not all the snow has time to melt during the summer. Over a period of years, the weight of new snow forces out the air trapped by previous layers. Fallen snow compresses into ice. Meltwater from the top trickles down, and refreezes, On a mountainside, or any area that's not flat, the weight of this ice eventually causes it to slowly flow, or creep , downhill. As it moves lower, more snow accumulates at the top, compressing into ice. Meanwhile, the ice at the bottom of the glacier reaches a lower and warmer altitude, and melts. New Zealand's Fox Glacier

SOUND ECO ADVENTURES Glaciers of Prince William Sound Navigation Links Further Reading Background What is a glacier? In general, glaciers form when snow accumulates at a faster rate than it can melt. The snow compresses under its own weight, gradually turning into ice. Under the force of gravity and its enormous weight, the glacier becomes fluid, and creeps slowly downhill. Smaller icebergs like this 20'wide "bergy bit" are common in College Fjord. SEA photo There are two main types of glaciers in Prince William Sound Apron (or hanging) glaciers, and valley glaciers. Apron glaciers cling to mountainsides, and generally have a localized origin. In contrast, valley glaciers literally fill valleys, and they often originate from large icefields. A valley glacier that reaches the sea is termed a tidewater glacier, and they usually terminate in a vertical wall of ice, often 200' - 300' high. Watching and hearing these glaciers calve ice into the sea with a tremendous roar is the highlight of many folks' visit to the Sound. Ten of the Sound's 17 tidewater glaciers are concentrated in College and Harriman Fjords.

Glaciers: Are They Retreating or Advancing? Glacier research presented May 26, 1998, in Boston at the conference of the American Geophysical Union, and reported the following day by the Associated Press Wire Service, raised a number of questions. The research, which claims to see an effect on glaciers from anthropogenic global warming, was done by Professor Mark Meier and colleagues at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Here is the AP story, followed by our comments. See also the link to a related story on the Agence-France Presse Wire, May 24, 1998. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, 27 May, 1998 "Global warming speeding up glaciers' melting" BOSTON (AP) All of the glaciers in Glacier National Park in Montana will be gone in the next 50 to 70 years, according to researchers who have been measuring the rate that glaciers are melting around the world. Those glaciers are melting faster than scientists had previously thought, according to the study by geologist Mark Meier, who presented his findings at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Boston on Tuesday. "The glaciers are receding and they're becoming thinner, and you can see this," Meier said, placing the blame squarely on global warming. The melting ice caps are contributing to rising sea levels that lead to beach erosion and more severe inland storms, he said. And rivers are jumping their banks more often as a result.

139. Small Glaciers Of The Andes May Vanish In 10-15 Years Small glaciers Of The Andes May Vanish In 1015 Years. In ten in climate.).How are tropical glaciers affected by climatic variations? http://unisci.com/stories/20011/0117013.htm

Home Search Small Glaciers Of The Andes May Vanish In 10-15 Years In ten to fifteen years' time, the small glaciers of the Andes, which constitute 80% of all the glaciers in the tropical regions of that mountain chain, are likely to have vanished. That is the main conclusion reached after studies conducted on the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia and the Antizana glacier in Ecuador. Performed by French scientists from Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) in France and their Bolivian and Ecuadorian partners, mass balance assessments for these two glaciers indicate that their shrinkage rate has accelerated markedly over the past ten or so years. If this ice recession continues at the same pace, their survival will be jeopardized even in the short term. The researchers stress that the recent quickening of glacial melt in the Andes corresponds with the greater intensity and frequency of El Niño events observed over the same period. Andean glaciers are particularly sensitive to climatic fluctuations owing to the position of most of them in the tropics and to the specific mechanisms by which they function. (In contrast with the glaciers in the Alps, which undergo a long period of accumulation in winter, glaciers in the tropics are subject to a permanent regime of ablation in the lower half of their mass, which makes them sensitive to the slightest sudden variation in climate.)

140. Atlantis History: Descendants Of The Legendary Lost Continent Of Atlantis Accounts for the origins and history of Atlantis including references to Plato, glaciers, and protoEuropean civilization, as well as a theory of who the descendants of Atlantis are in today's time. http://www.atlantishistory.com/

A. QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTED ANSWERS 1.WHERE WAS THE LOST ISLAND OF ATLANTIS LOCATED? ACCORDING TO PLATO, THE ISLAND OF ATLANTIS, WHICH WAS LARGER THAN LYBIA AND ASIA COMBINED, WAS LOCATED BEYOND THE PILLARS OF HERACLES. A) AN ISLAND OF THIS SIZE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT FIT ANY PLACE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. B) AN ISLAND OF THIS SIZE WOULD FIT IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN WEST AND BEYOND THE PILLARS OF HERACLES. HOWEVER, THE OCEAN FLOOR THERE IS TOO DEEP AND ACCORDING TO BATHYMETRIC MEASUREMENTS, THERE ARE NO TRACES THAT SUCH AN ISLAND EVER EXISTED. (EXCEPT IF THE ATLANTEANS HAD DISCOVERED THE SECRETS OF GRAVITY AS SOME DREAMERS LIKE TO IMAGINE, AND DURING SOME FAILED EXPERIMENT THE WHOLE ISLAND WAS FLUNG OUT INTO SPACE). C) ANOTHER POSSIBLE LOCATION, AS SOME SCHOLARS SUGGEST, IS THE CELTIC SHELF. THE AREA IS LARGE ENOUGH, BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WOULD BE AGREEABLE FOR SUCH A GREAT CIVILIZATION TO FLOURISH. ONE MUST CONSIDER THE PREVAILING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE PROXIMITY OF THE ICE SHEET. D) THE WATERS IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN ARE DEEP, AS ARE THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WATERS WEST TO THE ISLAND OF CRETE.
