Some examples of topographic features include: The towering peaks of mountains. The intricate grid of city streets. The depth and shape of valleys and canyons. The location and size of bodies of water. The elevation and slope of the land.
The Taku is a tidewater glacier that formerly calved, but is now advancing slowly over its outwash delta. The glacier had a dominantly positive mass balance from 1946-1988 and a slightly negative balance since 1988.
Progressively the advancement slowed, and from 2013-2018 the glacier stopped any movement entirely. With recording breaking summer temperatures throughout Alaska in 2018, data showed the glacier experienced incredible mass loss and the highest snow line in its history. Thus the retreat of the mighty Taku begins.
