Report updated: 05-21-2009 

A RECENT OVERFLIGHT BY A UAF GLACIOLOGIST DOCUMENTED LITTLE GLACIAL 
ADVANCEMENT AND THAT THE GLACIER SURGE HAS ENDED. SINCE THERE HAS NOT 
BEEN ADVANCEMENT OF THE GLACIER THIS SPRING WHEN THE SURGE WAS MOST 
LIKELY TO OCCUR, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE BLOCKAGE OF THE ALSEK RIVER
HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY LESS LIKELY THIS SUMMER AND POTENTIALLY IN 
FUTURE YEARS. UPDATES OF THE STATUS WILL BE PROVIDED AS INFORMATION 
BECOMES AVAILABLE.
