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 50Lilliput GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLinn GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLituya GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLiv GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLogan Glacier (Alaska)Glaciers and Ice FormationsLogan Glacier (Montana)Glaciers and Ice FormationsLower Curtis GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLower Grindelwald GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLowery GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLunde GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsLyell GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMachoi GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMackay GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMacy GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMagura GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMalaspina GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMargerie GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMarinelli GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMarmolada GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMars GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMarsh GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMatanuska GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMatterhorn GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMatthes GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMatthes GlaciersGlaciers and Ice FormationsMawson GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMcArthur GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMcCall Glacier (Washington)Glaciers and Ice FormationsMcCarty GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMcMurdo Dry ValleysGlaciers and Ice FormationsMendenhall GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMiage GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMiddle Teton GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMinnesota GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMittivakkat GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMjell GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMoiry GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMoming GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMorrison GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMorteratsch GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMount Warlow GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMueller GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMuir GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMulock GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsMurchison GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsNabesna GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsNathorstbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsNigardsbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsNimitz GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsNimrod GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations← Previous1…5678910Next →Sources1.
