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 50Columbia Glacier (Washington)Glaciers and Ice FormationsColumbia IcefieldGlaciers and Ice FormationsComox GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsComrie GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsConcordia (Karakoram)Glaciers and Ice FormationsCook Ice CapGlaciers and Ice FormationsCool GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCorbassière GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCoronation GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCowlitz GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCrowfoot GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsCumpston GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDachstein GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDålk GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDargomyzhsky GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDarwin Glacier (Antarctica)Glaciers and Ice FormationsDaugaard-Jensen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDavidson GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDawson-Lambton GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDe Haven GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDebeli NametGlaciers and Ice FormationsDeming GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDemorest GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDevdarakiGlaciers and Ice FormationsDiablerets GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDickson GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDobbratz GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDolraGlaciers and Ice FormationsDomeyko GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDonjek GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDrama GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDrang-Drung GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDriscoll GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsDrygalski Glacier (Antarctica)Glaciers and Ice FormationsDrygalski Ice TongueGlaciers and Ice FormationsDyngjujökullGlaciers and Ice FormationsEast Antarctic Ice SheetGlaciers and Ice FormationsEaston GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsEdmunds GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsEiskarGlaciers and Ice FormationsEldorado GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsEldred GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsEmmons GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsEngilchek GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsErebus GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsErebus Glacier TongueGlaciers and Ice FormationsEvans Piedmont GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsExit GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFairchild GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFairweather GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations← Previous12345…10Next →Sources1.
