Losing on two fronts: This forested fragment of Malaspina glacier is calving away on two sides, and the intervening forest is stretching, opening crevasses that swallow large trees.

The upper part of the image is a lagoon, and ocean waves wash through during large storms. Read more about our Life on Ice expedition.
