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 50Belvedere GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBenson GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBering GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBevin GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBiafo GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBiarchedi GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBiferten GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBingham GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBlackfoot GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBlaiklock GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBlåmannsisenGlaciers and Ice FormationsBlue GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBond GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBondhusbreaGlaciers and Ice FormationsBossons GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBoulder Glacier (Washington)Glaciers and Ice FormationsBow GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBøyabreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsBrady GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBranscomb GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBråsvellbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsBreiðamerkurjökullGlaciers and Ice FormationsBreitfuss GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBrenitsa GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBrenva GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBriksdalsbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsBrüggen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBrush GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBryn Mawr GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBuarbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsBull Lake GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsButler GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsBuxton GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsByrdbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsCalderone glacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCalkin GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCameron GlaciersGlaciers and Ice FormationsCanada GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCarbon GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCarlyon GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCarroll GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCarstensz GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsChallenger GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsChocolate GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsChumik GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCloud Peak GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCoalman GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCoe GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsColonia GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsColumbia Glacier (Alaska)Glaciers and Ice Formations← Previous1234…10Next →Sources1.
