10% of all earthquakes take place in Alaska. In the 1964 the earthquake (8.7 on the Richter scale) hit the area of Prince William Sound. It generated three successive tidal waves called tsunamis, one of which crested at 32 m (104 ft).
All glaciers are blue. This is because the ice is so compressed that all the other colors of the light spectrum are absorbed.
