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 50Falkner GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFarmer GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFee GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFendorf GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFerpècle GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFerrar GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFiescher GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFiftyone GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFimbul Ice ShelfGlaciers and Ice FormationsFindel GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFjardGlaciers and Ice FormationsFjordGlaciers and Ice FormationsFlagstaff GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFlogeken GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFolgefonnaGlaciers and Ice FormationsForbidden GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsForman GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsForno GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFortuna GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFourpeaked GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFox GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFranca GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFranz Josef GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFrederikshåb GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsFremont Glacier (Washington)Glaciers and Ice FormationsFrostisenGlaciers and Ice FormationsFurtwängler GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGabare GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGangotri GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGannett GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGéant GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGergetiGlaciers and Ice FormationsGiétro GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGildea GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGjegnalundsbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsGlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGlacier BlancGlaciers and Ice FormationsGlacier CaveGlaciers and Ice FormationsGlacier NoirGlaciers and Ice FormationsGlenzer GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGlisan GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGodwin-Austen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGomukhGlaciers and Ice FormationsGoodenough GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGotchen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGotley GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGough GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGowan GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrand DésertGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrand Pacific GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations← Previous123456…10Next →Sources1.
