This newly revised book offers stay-at-homes many spectacular panoramic views in color of Alaskan glaciers. It also offers information about glacier anatomy and types, their effect on the Earth's crust the life and fossils found on glaciers. -- The Third Age
...A quality blend of an interesting, accurate text supported by a wealth of imaginative, high-quality, color photographs and illustrations... unexcelled by any other publication I have seen... I highly recommend that geology and earth science teachers obtain classroom sets of Alaska's Glaciers for use as a valuable resource on glaciers. -- Journal of Geological Education, Vol.31, p.56
In this colorful book Alaska Geographic answers many questions about why glaciers form, how they move and what they do.The photographs are dramatic, with some providing a close-up look at the glacial phenomenon.

Molnia takes the reader on a trip through time to explain glacier formation and offers verbal trips to the faces of many glaciers for a view of how the ice worksmuch as it did 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. The impact of teh book is awesome. It stirs a desire to confront the glaciers one-on-one to get an even greater feeling of awesomeness. -- Eugene Register --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
