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 50Granite GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrasshopper Glacier (Montana)Glaciers and Ice FormationsGreenwell GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrewingk GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrey GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGries GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrimley GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrinnell GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGrovabreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsGutenberg GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsGuyot GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHa-Iltzuk IcefieldGlaciers and Ice FormationsHålisen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHallstätter GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHardangerjøkulenGlaciers and Ice FormationsHarmer GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHarrison GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHarvard GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHayes GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHeaney GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHeard Island glaciersGlaciers and Ice FormationsHector GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHeitō GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHelheim GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHenderson GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHenningsen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHindle GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHispar GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHoek GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHoffellsjökullGlaciers and Ice FormationsHoh GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHöllentalfernerGlaciers and Ice FormationsHolyoke GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHoneycomb Glacier (Washington)Glaciers and Ice FormationsHooker Glacier (New Zealand)Glaciers and Ice FormationsHorstman GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHorton GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHubbard GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHull GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHumboldt GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHumes GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsHunku GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsIchime GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsIl Polo GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsIllecillewaet GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsImja GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsIngraham GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsInter GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsIsbrecht GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsIskar GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations← Previous1…34567…10Next →Sources1.
