1 out of 5 stars Glaciers.......2007-04-03

This video has great photography but the narration doesn't seem to always fit what is being shown. It is hard to watch and stay awake.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic DVD About Alaskan Glaciers.......2003-06-13

This is a wonderful DVD with astonishing video and still images about the glaciers of Alaska. It contains chapters that describe all of the different features of glaciers as well as a relaxing musical background.

After watching ths DVD, I had a much better understanding of the relationship between glaciers and changing climate.
