Columbia Glacier, Alaska (2024) alaska But even hereColumbia Glacier, Alaska, is a dynamic giantonce stretching far into Prince William Sound, it now retreats at one of the fastest rates on Earth. Towering ice cliffs collapse into the sea, feeding iceberg strewn waters and illustrating, with stark clarity, the impacts of a warming planet. As the glacier shrinks, it transforms the ecosystem around it. Marine habitats are disrupted, sea levels rise, and communities downstream face growing uncertainty.
