But only just.

Hang on, let’s not rush these things.

Just don’t say, “Hey watch this!”, because nothing ever good comes out of that.

Love to hike. Two people in the group had to go up to the glacier face for pictures. You never know……

It will be close

Better hurry

Give him a skateboard, improve his chances.

Someone should put a a traffic signal.

Huh?

I tell people I don’t live in Alaska or Greenland because I can’t outrun glaciers.

“Do not cross when red lights are flashing and glacier warning gates are down.”

Rats!

By the skin of a shell?

Like the old Far Side cartoon, two cavemen look at a glacier, and one says, “Hey, Thag! Wall of ice look closer today?”

SLOW GLACIER CROSSING . . . ?

Many years later, archeologists are confused by the remains of a bird perched on top of a turtle found in a melting glacier…

You have lots of time to cross, Tortoise, as a glacier only moves a couple of inches a year – or at least, that’s what it’s supposed to do.

hey finally found something even a tortoise can beat! (He never got over that thing with the hare.)

Says the flightless bird as the delusion melts away before their eyes.

…..leave it as a thought.

They could wait for him to melt and leave a mound of till

In “The Innocents Abroad”, Mark Twain had heard about the moving glaciers of Switzerland and was determined to try that mode of transportation. He had a chair set up for himself in the center of a glacier, with his baggage placed toward the side (which travels slower). After waiting an hour, he realized there was a problem. The glacier must have run aground! He had his men cut saplings and try to push the glacier off the bordering land.

He read more thoroughly in his guidebook until he discovered that glaciers only move about 6 inches a year. He called off the operation in disgust and declared that some American railroad men should be brought over to get this thing working properly.

Careful like a cow, it may be calfing.

Why did the glacier cross the road? To get to the next Millenia!

In Panel 3 it looks like the glacier started receding in relation to the sign.

few things in life move as slow as a glacier, turtles may have this one beat.

Ha!! That’s funny. Love it.

Let the glacier go by first.
