		Climb toward a line of seracs at the N end of the glacier and climb up a depression in the glacier just to the S. of the seracs.
		Follow the glacier taking care to go the safest way to where it is possible to place camp at about 11,700ft.
		Glacier travel and rescue gear, wands are very important.

		Glacier lengths range from about a kilometer to more than 70 kilometers (Hubbard Glacier, which ends in Alaska, has a length of 72 kilometers in Canada and a total length of 112 kilometers); their areas range from a few square kilometers to more than 1,200 square kilometers for Seward Glacier.
		The Steele Glacier and several of the smaller glaciers (such as Trapridge Glacier) in the Steele Creek drainage basin are known to be subpolar; hence, it is postulated that their surge mechanism is thermally controlled (Jarvis and Clarke, 1974, 1975, and Clarke and Jarvis, 1976).
		In order to observe glacier behavior during a significant part of the quiescent phase (the previous, known surge was between 1968 and 1970), we have again selected excellent Landsat images of 13 September 1973 and 28 August 1978, enhanced the imagery, and prepared digital (Versatec) terrain plots of the glacier and adjacent areas.

		A surging glacier is defined as "a glacier that alternates periodically between brief periods (usually one to four years) of very rapid flow, called surges, and longer periods (usually 10 to 100 years) of near stagnation.
		A surging glacier is one in which the movement of the ice suddenly increases to several times its normal rate of flow, resulting in an abrupt advance of the terminus amounting to several kilometers or more over a period of a few months (Meier and Post, 1969).
		Surging glaciers can generally be identified on Landsat MSS images by the looped or crenulated character of medial moraines in the lower parts of such glaciers (Figure G-10.1).

		The optical properties of glaciers govern their spectral uniqueness and ability to be separated from other land covers on remotely sensed images.
		Klutlan Glacier is a surging valley glacier whose present terminus is located at the northern edge of the Icefield Ranges near the Alaska/Yukon boundary, immediately north of Yukon’s Kluane National Park (61°30’ 140°37’ 115F/7).
		The Glacier has its source in the Icefield Ranges on the Alaskan side of the international boundary and its tongue is fronted by massive ice-cored moraines (Rampton, 1970).

	ABSTRACT: Formation of the Neoglacial surge moraines of the Klutlan Glacier, Yukon Territory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		The Klutlan Glacier is a valley glacier 82-km long emerging from the Icefield Ranges of the St. Elias Mountains.
		It is one of at least 200 surging glaciers identified in western North America.
		Lithologic characteristics of the Klutlan moraines suggest that they have resulted pricipally from the surging of the tributary Nesham Glacier, which periodically infects a lobe of medial and lateral moraines and the underlying ice into a more slowly moving Klutlan ice stream.

		The sedimentary sequence and paleosols indicate that at least two middle Pleistocene glacial and interglacial periods are represented in the core.
		In this record, glaciations are documented by tills and allied glaciogenic sediments and interglacial intervals are interpreted from interstratified or geomorphically linked paleosols or nonglacial sediments (Table I).
		The sedimentary fill and the paleosols therein intersected by the Pony Creek Core are interpreted as having accumulated during alternating glacial and interglacial cycles.

	AFRICAN ICE CORE ANALYIS REVEALS CATASTROPHIC DROUGHTS, SHRINKING ICE FIELDS AND CIVILIZATION SHIFTS
		For the last 25 years, he and his colleagues have drilled cores from glaciers and ice caps in some of the most remote parts of the planet in an effort to recover records of ancient climate.
		The ice at the bottom of the cores was formed during the last glacial maximum -- the coldest part of the last ice age -- making it the oldest core recovered from the tropics.
		The period of the last glacial stage as recorded in polar ice cores and cores from Huascuran (Peru) was thought to be cold and dry but the eight-fold drop in dust suggests much wetter conditions in the vicinity of Sajama.

	The mystery of the Ice Age
		The southern deposits could be remnants from glacial lakes and meltwater features that developed along the edge of the ice sheets.
		Many of the glacial features are still sharp and only slightly eroded, indicating that the Ice Age was fairly recent.
		The glaciation could easily have been more recent than 15,000 to 20,000 years ago; Crickmay was simply repeating the conventional wisdom.

	Alaska Mountain Glacier Climbing
		Our route up the Sheep glacier is moderate climbing - Alaska Grade 1 - and with 13,000 feet of vertical gain along the way, there is plenty of climbing and scenic views overlooking the bulk of Mt. Blackburn, the shield volcano of Mt. Wrangell and the Fuji-like pyramid of Mt. Drum.
		The Sheep glacier, arduous but not steep, is moderately crevassed, and brings other "big mountain" characteristics such as altitude, weather, white-out navigation and a large dose of remoteness.
		The magic of the Wrangell and St. Elias Ranges are the myriad of unexplored peaks and glaciers.

	Klutlan Glacier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Klutlan Glacier is a 40-mile-long (64 km) glacier in the U.S. state of Alaska.
		It is located southwest of Mount Natazhat and flows east across the border with Canada, then north to form the headwaters of the Klutlan River.
		Its native name was reported in 1891 by C. Hayes of the United States Geological Survey.

	AW2004 Abstract: Reyes
		Previous investigations of Little Ice Age (LIA) glacier activity in the northeast St. Elias Mountains, however, were limited by uncertain ecesis intervals and lichen age-growth relationships, as well as large error terms associated with calibrated radiocarbon ages at LIA time scales (Denton and Stuiver, 1966; Rampton, 1970; Denton and Karlén, 1977).
		We dated two distinct driftwood strandlines that suggest Donjek Glacier was at its maximum LIA position in the early-mid 19th century.
		At Kaskawulsh Glacier, white spruce stems were sheared and tilted when terminal moraines were deposited during the culmination of its most extensive Little Ice Age advance.

	Ice coring team heads for Alaskan glaciers
		Thompson and his research team have undertaken similar missions to ice fields and glaciers to Peru, Bolivia, Antarctica, Greenland, Kurgyzstan, China, Africa and the Russian Arctic during the last quarter-century.
		While the retreat of glaciers is an obvious indicator that something about the climate has changed, the ice cores, with their stratigraphic layering of annual snowfall, offer the best key to understanding what those changes were, how serious they were and what caused them.
		Thompson's expedition should arrive in Anchorage on April 30th and from their, the team will make its way to their jumping-off point at the tiny May creek Airport inside of the vast Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and preserve and about 30 miles east of their target destination.

		Thompson's expedition should have arrived in Anchorage on April 30 and from there, the team is making its way to a jumping-off point at the tiny May Creek Airport inside of the vast Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and preserve and about 30 miles east of the target destination.
		An Ohio State researcher who has become famous for his work in using ice cores from drilled remote, mountaintop glaciers to unravel global climate histories for thousands of years is this year's winner of a prestigious international science prize.
		Thompson shocked the public and scientific community alike last year when he announced that the analysis of ice cores from high mountain glaciers in Africa and Peru showed melting at an alarming rate -- one that would lead to the loss of those ice fields within 15 years.

	High Alaskan Ascents with International Mountain Guides
		The peaks of Wrangell/St. Elias Nation Park provide a perfect step up from glacier climbing in the lower 48 states, and are excellent preparation for Mt. McKinley or other big expeditions.
		The climbing is anticipated to be a non-technical glacier ascent, suitable for those who have climbed and trained previously in the lower 48 on peaks such as Mt. Rainier.
		On the flight in to the mountain, we will experience one of the most spectacular scenic flights imaginable into base camp at approximately 9,000 feet on the Klutlan Glacier.

		A modern analogue is on the surge moraines of the Klutlan glacier in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
		The two coolings clearly noticeable in the pollen diagrams were related to the Older and Younger Dryas but radiocarbon dating of the lower part of the lacustrine sediments from Lake Perespilno indicates the occurrence of an earlier cold phase corresponding to the pleniglacial decline.
		They illustrated phases of vegetation changes in the nearest neighbourhood of the studied site and also in the region, where a considerable part of the territory was covered by thick sediments of fluvio-glacial sands, gravels, aeolian sand sheets and dunes.
