The mighty Columbia Glacier in southern Alaska has been undergoing a drastic transformation, and it’s anything but slow.

Un rare effondrement spectaculaire au glacier Columbia, en Alaska, en 2019. Un bloc de glace se détache avant qu’une première partie ne tombe dans l’eau. La glace étant plus légère que l’eau liquide, l’effondrement de la première partie provoque le soulèvement de la seconde, révélant un impressionnant pilier de glace avant qu’il ne se désagrège à son tour.
