A gorgeously illustrated ode to the Alaskan animals that live and play
in an environment that features some of the region's most impressive,
natural, and constantly changing landscapes.
Whether towering high above the water's surface, or spreading out as a
massive ice field in an open plain, glaciers slowly shape the
environments and ecosystems that they move through. And while the size,
scale, and temperatures may seem extreme, there is a vibrant community
of wildlife living in and around these massive flows of ice. Through
poignant poems paired with informative facts about each animal, Who
Lives near a Glacier? celebrates the creatures that not only survive,
but thrive alongside the shifting landscape. From enormous whales
swimming alongside ice walls rising out of the ocean, to the tiniest of
ice worms that make their homes inside glaciers, readers will learn
about a variety of local wildlife and enjoy beautiful full-page
illustrations.
