It has been five years since the devastating Texas blackouts, as detailed by NPR News.

Pike Electric service trucks were seen lined up after the storm in Fort Worth, Texas, according to a photo from Getty Images.
Meanwhile, glaciers around the world continue to present challenges. Some glaciers can suddenly surge forward, as reported by Phys.org, with potentially dangerous consequences.
