The Black Rapids Glacier: A phenomenon caused by pressure of unusual warm fall weather late 1936 and heavy snow winter 1937, and accelerated by an earthquake, this wall of ice - 2 miles wide and 300 feet high at face - has been moving out into an open valley south of Fairbanks, Alaska. Received by WDC-A from W.S. Cooper Dec. 1967. The glacier has been at a standstill for awhile now but scientists call it the phenomenon of the century.
