| Caption : | Tidewater glacier? Nope. Well, it depends on who you ask. In most definitions a 'tidewater glacier' has two critical components, a glacier, and an ocean. The water in this photo is a lake, and while all bodies of water are effected by the pull of the moon and sun, and are therefore “tidal”, lake water doesn't cut it. So what do we call it? A “lakewater glacier” doesn't ring true but I use it with friends so I can watch their reaction. A “glacier that calves into a lake” is a little cumbersome but works. This is South Crillon Glacier where it pours into Crillon Lake. You know it is different – no seals, no kittiwakes, no murrelets, no big waves and no cruise ships. Just lots and lots of quiet and, oh yeah, no saltwater. Interesting that there are many more lakewater glaciers in Glacier Bay National Park than there are tidewater glaciers, but nobody talks about them much. |
