Home›Glaciers and Ice Formations›All Glaciers and Ice FormationsBrowse ByAll Glaciers and Ice FormationsReference and ClassificationDevelopingAccumulations and flows of glacial ice and the ice-built formations shaped by them, following the glacial landform class of standard geomorphology. Includes valley and mountain glaciers still actively flowing (Mendenhall Glacier, Columbia Glacier, Deming Glacier), large ice caps and ice sheets covering a whole region (East Antarctic Ice Sheet), and named ice tongues and icefalls where a glacier meets open water or breaks over a steep drop (Drygalski Ice Tongue). Belongs here: any formation whose defining identity is a present-day body of glacial ice. Does not belong here: a valley or fjord shaped by past glacial action that no longer carries ice (Valleys, Coastal and Reef Features), or a rock formation left standing by glacial retreat (Interfluves and Ridges, Other Erosional Landforms).FactsAll Glaciers and Ice FormationsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonFormation OriginWell-attestedis a persistent body of natural ice, a form of rock, that is constantly moving under its own weight. 1All Glaciers and Ice FormationsFilter Results480 entriesFormation FamilyAllAntarctic Peninsula and Sub-Antarctic Islands (62)East Antarctica (27)Glacial Landform Concepts (9)Glaciers of Africa (2)Glaciers of Alaska and Yukon (49)Glaciers of Antarctica (166)Glaciers of Asia (32)Glaciers of Europe (105)Glaciers of Greenland (10)Glaciers of North America (137)Glaciers of Oceania (14)Glaciers of Other European Ranges (2)Glaciers of Scandinavia and Iceland (29)Glaciers of South America (15)Glaciers of the Alps (64)Glaciers of the Caucasus (10)Glaciers of the Contiguous United States (61)Glaciers of Western Canada (17)Ross Sea Region (42)West Antarctica (26)Formation TypeAllAntarctic Peninsula and Sub-Antarctic Islands (62)East Antarctica (27)Glacial Landform Concepts (9)Glaciers of Africa (2)Glaciers of Alaska and Yukon (49)Glaciers of Antarctica (9)Glaciers of Asia (32)Glaciers of Greenland (10)Glaciers of Oceania (14)Glaciers of Other European Ranges (2)Glaciers of Scandinavia and Iceland (29)Glaciers of South America (15)Glaciers of the Alps (64)Glaciers of the Caucasus (10)Glaciers of the Contiguous United States (61)Glaciers of Western Canada (17)Ross Sea Region (42)West Antarctica (26)WhereAllAlexander Island (8)Antarctica (56)Argentina (3)Australia (2)Australia (17)Austria (7)Canada (28)Chile (12)China (4)Coats Land (8)Denmark (2)Ellsworth Land (13)France (7)Georgia (7)Germany (5)Graham Land (19)Greenland (7)Iceland (4)India (13)Indonesia (1)Italy (6)Kazakhstan (1)King George Island (5)Kyrgyzstan (1)Livingston Island (6)Mongolia (1)Montenegro (1)Nepal (4)New Zealand (6)Norway (23)Pakistan (10)Peru (2)Queen Maud Land (14)Ross Dependency (6)Russia (4)South Shetland Islands (2)Spain (2)Sweden (3)Switzerland (44)Tajikistan (2)Tanzania (2)United Kingdom (12)United States (112)Formed By (Process)AllErosion (5)Glaciation (470)Protected StatusAllInternational Treaty Protected Area (152)Locally or Regionally Protected (10)National Monument or Landmark (4)National Park or Reserve (174)Natura 2000 Site (6)Ramsar Wetland Site (3)UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2)UNESCO World Heritage Site (30)Visitor AccessAllOpen (8)DisciplineAllGeomorphology (10)Glaciology (464)Oceanography (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Aagaard GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAargletschersGlaciers and Ice FormationsAaron GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAbruzzi GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAdams Glacier (Mount Adams)Glaciers and Ice FormationsAdishi GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAgassiz Ice CapGlaciers and Ice FormationsAhern Glacier (Antarctica)Glaciers and Ice FormationsAhern Glacier (Montana)Glaciers and Ice FormationsAhlmann GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAialik GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAllalin GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAllison Glacier (Heard Island)Glaciers and Ice FormationsAlyabiev GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAmalia GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAmbulapcha GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAmherst GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAmundsen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAndrews GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAneto glacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAngel GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAnna GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAntevs GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAnuchin GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsArapaho GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAreteGlaciers and Ice FormationsArgentière GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsArolla GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAsafiev GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAthabasca GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAtka GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsAxel Heiberg GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBaby Glacier (Montana)Glaciers and Ice FormationsBagley IcefieldGlaciers and Ice FormationsBalakirev GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBalch GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBalish GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBaltoro GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBanded GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBara Shigri GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBaranowski GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBarnes GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBarnes Ice CapGlaciers and Ice FormationsBarnett GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBartók GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBarwick ValleyGlaciers and Ice FormationsBaspa ValleyGlaciers and Ice FormationsBatura GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBaudissin GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBell GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations123…10Next →Sources1.
