Hello Educators,

Next week travel into the world of glacial lakes in NOVA's "Descent
Into the Ice." In this program, scientists journey into the glaciers
of France's Mont Blanc, where they search for internal glacial lakes
and track water flow in an effort to predict potential flood events.
(Subjects covered: earth science; geology; natural disasters)
