Civilization exists with the permission of geology.

That would be the same Mendenhall Glacier that sits on an extinct forest...that it covered when it was advancing about 1,000 years ago.

“ That would be the same Mendenhall Glacier that sits on an extinct forest….”

I guess the earth was warmer then. Who knew?

A few years ago the river was almost 150 feet away. This is the result of a jökulhlaup.

50 yards away on soil that can easily be eroded, I can putt a golf ball 50 yards, that's pretty close unless you're on rock.

Watched some show years ago and they were way up north somewhere and were splitting shale looking for fossils. Split one down a seam and revealed a palm frond. A big one too not just a small piece. Palm trees in Alaska. This earth is unbelievably old.

Oh and I found out today. That drone footage was taken by my friend’s son. He works for the city and borough of Juneau.
