GLACIERS CONTRIBUTE TO RISING SEA LEVEL |
| Caption: |
In the late 1980s the Hubbard glacier surged into Yakutat Bay in southern Alaska and shed large blocks of ice like this one that were 30 stories high. Shedding of ice blocks, referred to as calving, from glaciers in Alaska and elsewhere contributes a small part to rising sea level. (Cliff Riedinger/Alaska Stock.com) |
