Childs Glacier is approx. 3 miles wide, 300 feet high and goes up the valley approx. 11.5 miles. The Glacier does not calve on any schedule and no one knows why it is more active at times. It appears that when the Copper River is higher there is more activity. We listen to many different sounds as the ice moves, i.e., rifle, shot gun, cannon and then the really loud train wrecks. Many people think it sounds more like thunder. To view the activity click on the arrow.
