阿拉斯加冰川湾国家公园的退缩冰川揭示了一个名为Prow Knob的新岛屿,因为融化的冰层和不断上升的湖泊水平将它与大陆隔开。 A retreating glacier in Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park has revealed a new island named Prow Knob, as melting ice and rising lake levels separated it from the mainland. 冰川学家Mauri S. Pelto观察了Alsek冰川的撤退,创造了一个盆地,现在由Alsek湖填满,由河流、融水和冰山供养。 The Alsek Glacier's retreat, observed by glaciologist Mauri S. Pelto, created a basin now filled by Alsek Lake, fed by river flow, meltwater, and icebergs. 该岛面积约2平方英里,7月底至8月初出现,说明气候变化对阿拉斯加冰川和景观的持续影响。 The island, measuring about 2 square miles, emerged between late July and early August, illustrating the ongoing effects of climate change on Alaskan glaciers and landscapes.
