Mount Rainier National Park: Ice Worms

Worms live in the ice at Mount Rainier. These ice worms show us that even a glacier, which we think of as just dead 'ol ice, is just as alive as the mountain itself. Tune in as we discover the weird, crazy facts that make this ice worm wiggle. We see how the cold gives this worm energy, how it hides in the glacier during the day and comes out to eat at night. Even grown ups for many years thought this ice worm thing was just a joke. We learn all about their crazy habits, how they are like Goldilocks at a "just right" temperature of 32 degrees and we hear from Ranger Kat again!
