Water here on earth is recycled in a somewhat karmic fashion. Rain that falls eventually evaporates back into the atmosphere. In the meantime, though, actions and reactions abound.
There’s an Alaskan glacier that is currently threatening to make Prince William Sound quite unsound. The ice has melted to such an extent that the surrounding slopes have destabilized. If a landslide should occur, a huge tsunami could result.
The sound is frequented by vessels of all types, and mariners have been warned to avoid this glacial area. Nearby Barry Arm communities have also been advised of the danger.
