Big Alaska Glacier Goes On Rampage. Big Alaska Glacier Goes on Rampage FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 21. (/P)—Alaska's rambling Black Rapids glacier, its movement speeded by hot weather, pushed to the edge of the Big Delta river today while three lakes formed on the surface of the big ice mass. Travelers who viewed the glacier from the Richardson highway, said it. is now less than a mile from the Black Rapids roadhouse, situated across the river. Although Pilot E. E. Parmenter reported photographs showed the glacier moved 400 feet in two days, others said it has since slowed down and no alarm was expressed.
