WHAT IT SHOWS: A glaciologist drills a hole to install equipment on Black Rapids Glacier, Alaska. Alaska's Black Rapids Glacier, known affectionately as the 'Galloping Glacier', advanced forward in 1936/37, advancing up to 30 meters (100 feet) a day. Today, Black Rapids Glacier is thinning up to 3 metres (10 feet) per day during the summer.
