The Glaciers Of Alaska
Personal memory by Tamara
2018 • Anchorage, AK, USA
My mom was raised in Anchorage, Alaska. She would show me pictures of her visiting the glaciers. Her and my grandma would tell me amazing it was to see it in person. During the summer time, water would run off into streams from the glaciers. My grandma said it was the most delicious and freshest water she has ever tasted. Now, looking at present photos online, it saddens my mom, grandma, and me having to watch these amazing glaciers melt away due to global warming.
