Malaspina Glacier, Alaska: NASA space-shuttle photograph, STS066-117-014, 11/14/94,
70 mm format. Low-oblique view toward south (left). Malaspina is a classic large piedmont
glacier that descends to tidewater from several mountain sources. This glacier has a
history of surging--rapid advances separated by periods of stagnation. The glacier is
mostly snow covered in this November view.
