GLACIER GIVES WAY, Marr Ice Piedmont, Anvers Island.Photo from World View of Global Warming by Gary Braasch

This large glacier is "calving" into the water and has receded over 1600 feet since the 1960s. Then, the glacier front's edge was to the left of the line of ice floating in the harbor and extended to the headland at the extreme upper left.
