Large cracks in the upper surface of the Taku Glacier in Alaska, USA become apparent when tension acts upon the brittle ice. These crevasses add color to the beauty of a glacier and gives you an idea on how thick the ice really is.
The Taku Glacier is the largest glacier in the Juneau Icefield and has been closely observed by the Juneau Icefield Research Program. Since 1988 the glacier has moved forward approximately 17 meters a year which could eventually cause problems for the Taku River if it advances enough to block the river.
If you are in Alaska to see the Taku Glacier in the Juneau Icefield be sure you book a boat tour or plane trip as there is no other way to get a look at this amazing piece of nature.
