Valdez Glacier Second Calving Aftermath 2020
Channel: OpenEarth
Date: 2020-08-30

Some aerials captured during the end of August that showcases yet another massive calving event at Valdez Glacier Lake in Prince William Sound, Alaska. While the glacier has been somewhat "stable" in its rate of retreat during the last 10-15 years, this year in particular was more loss than all of those years combined, effectively doubling the length of the lake within just two months. Being a remote glacier, no one has captured these historic separations as they happen, at least not yet.
