Margerie Glacier: The One That Isn't Disappearing

What's the one thing you assumed was disappearing, only to find out it's actually held its ground? Most of what you count on to still be there in ten years probably won't be — jobs change, people move, things get smaller or end. You've gotten used to bracing for that. Margerie Glacier is almost a mile wide and 250 feet tall at the face — and unlike most of the glaciers around it, it's stable. Not shrinking. Not retreating. While Glacier Bay's other ice has been pulling back for decades, this one's just stayed exactly where it is. So what would it feel like to look at something that big and not have to brace for it changing on you? Ice reaching all the way down below the waterline. Water the color of the glacier melt feeding it. Something enormous, staying exactly as it is. There is always a way. I'm not going anywhere.
