Hydroforms
Both ice and water sculpt the landscape surrounding Columbia Glacier. Since USGS studies began in the early 1970s the glacier has lost 140 cubic km of ice, thinning by over 500 meters in the neighborhood of this image, and exposing 100 square km of new ocean....

Columbia Glacier Terminus
View of Columbia Glacier's terminus as it enters the waters of Prince William Sound.

$A dramatic iceberg calving from Columbia Glacier in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The iceberg has just broken free from under the water and shot to the surface, spinning towards the ice face. The ice cliff here is about 70 m (229.7 ft) tall. Icebergs are calved as stress fractures in the glacier mer...$
