p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Alaska----Growing Icebergs


A "bergy-bit" bay in Prince William Sound.
If the glacial ice pieces are too small to be called icebergs, they are called bergy bits.
If the glacial ice pieces are too large to be called bergy bits, they are called icebergs.
Science made easy .
Oh, in a 100-foot sightseeing boat the skipper moves carefully through the bergy bits.
And he goes AROUND the icebergs- because 70% of each iceberg is below the water's surface.
But where?

Thanks Ard and Scott.
Frozen lakes and rivers at breakup don't result in really big chunks of ice the way tidewater glaciers often do, but they have the potential- on river breakups- of jamming together and making huge jumbles of grinding and shifting ice.
Enough to sometimes take out roads and bridges.
I can see the potential for some dramatic photography under such conditions.
