| Abstract |
In March and late April of 1993 glaciologists received a rare treat when the Bering Glacier began to "surge" - fairly galloping along at the un-glacial pace of up to 300 ft/day or 12.5 ft/hr. These animations were created from 14 terrain-corrected SAR images obtained from April to August of 1993. Satellite remote-sensing is the only way this event could be fully observed, (the glacier is roughly the size of Delaware), and SAR images can be obtained day or night even through heavy cloud cover.
