The ice moulded or streamlined form appears to be produced by variations in stress levels at the base of the ice‚ although the precise mode of formation of the features is far from clear.

Alaska’s glaciers. I found this essay to be touching and nostalgic. The author shows throughout the essay how his relationship has changed with Stickeen and how inspiring Stickeen was to him through their journey.

Paleoclimate is the climates of previous years of the earth’s history. The first way paleocimatologists study the earth’s past climates is by pollen. Pollen is sometimes trapped in lakes and bogs preserving it for many years. So when the scientist’s exstract the pollen they can see what type of plant it comes from. For example if they got the pollen from a silk tree they would know that that previous climate was a warmer one. Because silk trees need warm weather to grow. Then they count the number
