Calving Glaciers in Alaska by Barbara Erasmus
United States: We see the Harvard Glacier from miles away - a cliff of tortured ice, increasingly spectacular as we draw nearer. An ominous crack of thunder. Our mouths fall open as a block of ice larger then a double-decker bus trembles on the brink, poised for a final moment. It breaks free and tumbles in slow motion into the icy waters below.
