IVU Event 2006These photos were taken in Barrow on January 26, 2006. An ivu is the Iñupiaq word for the collision of a massive ice floe against the shore-fast ice. The phenomenon can follow a rapid change in sea level sometimes due to distant winds pushing a surge of water, in this case, southward toward Barrow, Alaska. Read more about the 2006 Barrow ivu from the Fairbanks News Miner.
