Kolka Glacier Collapses: Did Global Warming Claim 140 Lives? Russia (HDW) October 17, 2002 - While
docked to the Space Station the international crew of Space Shuttle Mission
STS-112 paused as the spacecraft sped over the Caucasus Range. They had
planned before launch that a crew member would look out the windows of
the spacecraft for remnants of the disastrous collapse of Kolka Glacier.
The close collaboration between the USA and Russia on all aspects of Space
Station construction, and the presence on the Shuttle crew of Russian
mission specialist Fyodor Yurchikhin, made the crew particularly interested
in photographing the area to help scientists on the ground in their studies
of the collapse.
