Bombs Won’t Stop Glacier in Alaska
In Fairbanks on February 16, Otto William Geist of the University of Alaska warned dynamiting Black Rapids Glacier would be futile as there are not enough bombs to halt its main mass. The glacier advances slowly toward the Richardson Highway threatening the two mile river dam and a nearby roadhouse owned by Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Revell.
