Time-lapse sequence of outlet streams. Camera mounted on the lower part of the glacier to observe water discharge; each of the three cameras recorded images at 30 minute intervals, day and night. This film includes an overview of the main stream between June and August, 1981. The film is silent but includes detailed title cards with explanations of the process used for recording images of the streams. This research appears to have been conducted as a collaboration between the University of Washington and the University of Alaska, which is mentioned in an opening title card. Variegated Glacier is one of several glaciers which connect to Russell Fjord in Alaska. Variegated Glacier has been of considerable scientific interest because it surges every 20 years.
