In 1937, the Black Rapids Glacier was documented as moving about 220 feet per day, or a mile a month for a few months.
The glacier has been in decline for several years, however it is thought possible that another surge could occur.

Black Rapids Glacier, located in Alaska, U.S.A., is famous for being a glacier that is subject to "surging". That is, it can move very quickly.
