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 50Rusalka GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsRussell Glacier (Greenland)Glaciers and Ice FormationsRussell Glacier (Oregon)Glaciers and Ice FormationsRussell West GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsRussian Geographical Society GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsRuth GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSacagawea GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSahale GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSaint Mary's GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSaint Vrain GlaciersGlaciers and Ice FormationsSaleina GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSalmon GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSan Rafael GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSaparevo GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSargent IcefieldGlaciers and Ice FormationsSarpo Laggo GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSaskatchewan GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSatopanth GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSavage GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSchimper GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSchlatenkeesGlaciers and Ice FormationsSchmidt Glacier (Heard Island and McDonald Islands)Glaciers and Ice FormationsSchneefernerGlaciers and Ice FormationsSchoolroom GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSchweitzer GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSchytt GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsScimitar GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsScott Glacier (Transantarctic Mountains)Glaciers and Ice FormationsSeal GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSeverny Island ice capGlaciers and Ice FormationsShackleton GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsShinnan GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsShirase GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSiachen GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSilvretta GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSkelton GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSólheimajökullGlaciers and Ice FormationsSouthern Patagonian Ice FieldGlaciers and Ice FormationsSpørteggbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsStancomb-Wills GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsStein GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsStikine IcecapGlaciers and Ice FormationsStorglaciärenGlaciers and Ice FormationsStrupbreenGlaciers and Ice FormationsSulitjelma GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsSvartisenGlaciers and Ice FormationsTaku GlacierGlaciers and Ice FormationsTarfala ValleyGlaciers and Ice FormationsTarnGlaciers and Ice FormationsTasman GlacierGlaciers and Ice Formations← Previous1…78910Next →Sources1.
