Researchers in Canada and the United States are closely watching the Alsek River, worried that a moving glacier nearby could block the river and potentially flood a village in Alaska.

    I find it unbelieveable that "The glacier has surged up to a kilometre in the last year".

    Yep, it happens. Takes a hell of a lot of cold, cold snow and ice to cause the mass of a glacier to bulk up and surge, but it does happen.

    The Hubbard Glacier in Alaska is right now doing the same thing.

    Ahhh,that wasnt me either.

    Usually when you see a hoe in the water like that it's stolen and someone went on what they thought was a joyride.
