Excerpts

Did you know? It took thousands of years for Glacier Bay to fill with ice, but just 200 years for it to melt!
Did you know? Alaskans chip off pieces of floating icebergs to use for ice in their drinks. Compressed air trapped in the ice creates a phenomenon called "ice sizzle": As the ice melts, the bubbles burst with a snap, crackle and pop.
