Frozen Mass Threatens Dalton

Oh no, my nephew's
in trouble!
Best let my sister know.
Oh, the Dalton HIGHWAY,
aka the Haul Road
to Prudhoe Bay.
A moving mass of
frozen debris
(my ex-boyfriend?)
is sliding toward the road
and the trans-Alaska pipeline.
Can't decide which name
I like best:
giant blob or
frozen debris lobe?
Regardless,
it's mean and
it's moving.

Anchorage Daily News,  June 24, 2014
"The road is about 140 feet from the leading edge of the debris - a frozen accumulation of sand, gravel, rock, silt, old pieces of wood, ice and other materials that continue to puzzle scientists."
