		On the detail map, triangles indicate mountain peaks; an oval indicates the location of the sulfur springs; the north-south arrow shows the trend of an "anticline" or upwarping fold in the bedrock; and east-west lines show the locations of faults in the bedrock.
		In three expeditions conducted in July of 1999, 2000, and 2001, researcher Stephen Grasby (assisted by Benoit Beauchamp in 2000) found a total of ten sulfur springs and seeps to be discharging from the surface of a glacier 200 meters thick.
		Vaterite is a rare crystal form of calcium carbonate that is observed in the sulfur springs at Borup Fiord Pass, Ellesmere Island, Canada.

	USGS Release: Advancing Glacier Coming Close to Blocking Fiord Near Yakutat, Alaska (6/18/2002)
		North America’s largest calving glacier, Hubbard Glacier, is advancing and is close to blocking the entrance to Russell Fiord near Yakutat, Alaska, according to reports from Dennis Trabant, a glaciologist with the U. Geological Survey (USGS).
		After that closure, freshwater flowing into the fiord raised the level of the lake 84 feet before the ice dam failed about five months later in October 1986.
		Since 1986, Hubbard Glacier has continued to advance into Disenchantment Bay and Russell Fiord at an average rate of about 105 feet per year, but large tidal currents have kept a channel open between the glacier and hills to the south.

		By early June, as the moraine continued to grow, the tidal exchange was blocked.
		The recent episode carved out a new 200 meter-wide (600 feet) entrance into Russell Fiord and the entire moraine dam is now gone.
