"The glacier is bifurcated. One fork is moving into the other, grinding and crunching at a point five miles back. The intersection is the scene of a giant upheaval. . . . Three days ago we could...
...Absolute hokum!* That would be 150 feet of travel per day. The fastest moving glaciers in the world, in New Zealand and Greenland, only move 30 feet per day." Dismissing the report from Scientist Geist that heavy rains have possibly released soft material along the contact points and lubricated the glacier's groove, causing it to move. Glacialist Washburn explained that glaciers move because of pressure in their catchment basins at their sources. Alaska's glaciers are survivals of the ice age on the North American continent. Washburn believes that Alaska's glaciers are dwindling, will eventually...
Philadelphia is still clucking over the days when Mr. Kent, Clarence Henry Geist (United Gas Improvement) and the late John T.
