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 50Jackson GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJakobshavn GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJeffers GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJefferson Park GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJeffries GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJewell GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJohns Hopkins GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJorum GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJostedal GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsJuneau IcefieldGlaciers and Ice FormationsJutulstraumen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKafni GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKahiltna GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKaliakra GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKander NeveGlaciers and Ice FormationsKangerlussuaq GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKangshung GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKannheiser GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKaparoqtalik GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKaskawulsh GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKennicott GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKettle (landform)Glaciers and Ice FormationsKeyhole GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKhumbu GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKintla GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKirkby GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKjenndalsbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsKlebelsberg GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKlutlan GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKnik GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKoettlitz GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKohler GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKolahoi GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKolka GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKolosh GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKonkordiaplatzGlaciers and Ice FormationsKornicker GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKrapets GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKrivodol GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsKubitza GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLamplugh GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLanghovde GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLeConte GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLekhziri GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLennon GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLennox-King GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLerchenfeld GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLeverett GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLillian GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLillie GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations← Previous1…45678…10Next →Sources1.
