Not only cows are calving
For those who thought calving was something only cows do here is my advice:
go to Alaska, land of the calving glaciers!
When tidewater glaciers such as Columbia Glacier or Hubbard Glacier, or outlet glaciers such

Inner Lake George. This glacier lake measures more than 25 square kilometers and is filled
with icebergs and ice floes that have broken off the Knik Glacier. [Read more…]

advancing. When Capt. George Vancouver sailed the Alaska Coast in 1794, Glacier Bay did
not exist. [Read more…]
