The Chugach National Forest is still under the domination of moving ice. We see how the end of a glacier breaks off and melts creating a surreal landscape, and explore the icy spires and caves. We analyze the movement of a glacier, see the evidence of its movement in the rough edges of rock - ground to a smooth polish, and meet the iceworm, an almost mythical creature that lives between the snow crystals near the surface, emerging into the open air to feed on algae and pollen carried by the wind.
Animals such
as Dall sheep, trumpeter

We follow history of the Russian fur traders, native cultures, prospectors, experience the change of seasons and how they impact the rivers of ice. Watch grizzly bears with their young, and see how the relationship between the giants of ice and the land continues to evolve.
