Can you watch a glacier move?

Glaciers move very slowly over time due to gravity and pressure from accumulating ice. While you may not see noticeable movement in real-time, time-lapse photography can capture the gradual flow of a glacier over days, months, or years. Observing changes in glacier position, shape, and crevasses can indicate their movement.


Why is it hard to see glacier erosion in action?

Glacier erosion occurs over long periods of time, making it difficult to observe in real-time. Additionally, the slow movement of glaciers means that their erosive effects may not be immediately noticeable. The vast size and remote locations of many glaciers also make it challenging to directly witness erosion processes.


Why is ice in a glacier concidered to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?

well, you see, glacier ice or solid ice is a mineral because it is in a naturally solid form, and it is natural, not man-made whatsoever, and has a crystalline structure. Water on the otherhand is usually a liquid and has minerals in it; you can't freeze water and say it is a mineral-that would be man-made.

The largest of these is the Taku Glacier with an estimated ice thickness of 4,500 feet. The glacier most easily accessible by the road system is the rapidly retreating Mendenhall Glacier, also one of the top tourist destinations in Alaska.
