The ice mass dubbed Frozen Debris Lobe A is about 142 feet from the highway, at mile marker 219. The highway serves as the supply road for oil companies working at Prudhoe Bay.

Global Warming strikes again!

[Star Traveler]

Actually, we’re in for a decades long (if not longer) cold spell. It’s supposed to be taking hold in another year or so, but some of the effects are felt now.

Don't look at it!

There are no glaciers anymore, thanks to white men in SUVs. And even if there are, they are retreating. Truly the facts of this story conflict with computer models, which are never wrong.

"Don't look at it!"

That's a glacier-like ass.

Here's a pic.

Debris lobes only exist in cold climates where the water inside a mass of dirt and rocks freezes. It behaves like a glacier and can move. If the ice were to melt, the movement would stop and it would behave like a mound.

Ship all the SUVs to Alaska. This ice must be melted and Alaska should return to normal tropical temperature.

Great find, LOL! :)

That movie scared the bejeebers out of me the first time I saw it. (I think I was about 6)

For some reason, I still remember the title.

Dang! Beat me to it!

Nice pic. Crap...looks like a challenging road to re-route, not to mention the pipeline itself, although it is puttering out since the DEMOCRATS wouldn’t let us drill ANWR.

Ice nine with rocks? Great find Bratch...

[GSWarrior]

But is it a Blood Glacier?

[Conan the Librarian]

THAT is a great movie!

Svengoolie showed it not to long ago.
