Photo by acacia.johnson / The last rays of winter sun slip behind the mountains of Alaska's Knik Glacier. Located on the northern end of the Chugach Mountains, this glacier is one of the most easily accessible from the nearby city of Anchorage, my hometown. To me, glaciers have always been a striking reminder of how the formation of the landscapes we live in is an active, ongoing process in a vast expanse of geologic time.
