Photograph illustrating the variability of glacier-dammed lakes: Blockade Lake in the process of refilling. This lake in the Chigmit Mountains is impounded behind a massive ice dam 15.2 km (9.5 miles) in length formed where Blockade Glacier laterally enters a deep, narrow valley at the far end of the lake. Although the major flow of ice is to the eastern terminus, a portion of the ice flows toward the lake terminating in an ice cliff from which large icebergs are discharged. This lake does not dump annually but large changes in surface level indicate that the ice dam fails every few years causing major floods on McArthur River. Kenai quadrangle, Spurr district, Cook Inlet region, Alaska, cc 1970. Published on sheet...

Photograph illustrating the effects of an outburst flood due to volcanic activity: changes in glacier on Redoubt Volcano resulting from the eruptions. Steam clouds from the active crater still obsured the summit of the mountain. The ice cascades flowing from the summit crater have been completely destroyed and a large stream of yellowish, debris-laden waterwas rusing down the gorge in its place. Aerial observations in 1967 indicated lowing of the glacier surface level in the crater which suggest that ice melt due to volcanic heat was the principal source of the flood water. Kenai quadrangle, Spurr district, Cook Inlet region, Alaska. August 1966. Published on sheet 3 of U.S. Geological Survey. Hydrological investigations....

Photograph illustrating the effects of an outburst flood due to volcanic activity: Redoubt Volcano, Chigmit Mountains. Photo shows conditions before eruptions began in January 1966. This large, unnamed glacier shown here descends from the summit crater. Although the glacier is littered by much debris on its lower reaches the spectacular ice cascades on the mountain slopes are almost debris free, indicating recent decades of little volcanic activity. Kenai quadrangle, Spurr district, Cook Inlet region, Alaska. August 1963. Published on sheet 3 in U. S. Geological Survey. Hydrological investigations. Atlas HA-455. 1971.
