"Exploring Alaska's Geological Marvels"

Adam’s Inlet in Alaska, once covered by thick ice, has transformed into a geological wonderland due to significant deglaciation over the past 150 years. The retreat of glaciers, driven by warming temperatures, has exposed steep slopes, glacial rivers, and sediment-rich landscapes. Landsat 9 imagery captured the dynamic environment, highlighting features like braided rivers, alluvial fans, and the aftermath of a 2020 landslide. Historical events, such as the 1958 Lituya Bay landslide-induced tsunami, underscore the region's geological activity.
