We find two 13 km world record breaking glaciers. These plunge from the high among the Alps into soft lush rainforests once the home of dinosaurs. We see how millions of tonnes of material and transferred tenacious rivers.

Glacier Stats: Length:13 km. Speed: 4m/day. Altitude: at snout 300 m; at nevé 3,300 m.  Precipitation: at nevé: 70 m snow - at base 7 m rain.

Studies
We learn to read the pathways these giant ice rivers once followed. We explore the forces and water properties that power the monsters. We witness and learn about valleys collapsing as the glaciers and tectonic plates dislodge, twist and shatter these newly formed valleys.
