which is a continuation of Ken
necott glacier, broke off with
a crash that echoed for miles.
In the morning McCarthy re
sidents were able to view a
sight which tourists travel hun
dreds of miles and spend hun
dods of dollars to see.
The great wall of ice which
is exposed is as clear and blue
as the surface of the moraine is
dirty and rocky.
Strange to say, this did not
cause any perceptible rise in
the river.

which is a record in this sec
tion the weather has moderated
and from now on farmers can
harvest their crops.
