Glacial Landform Concepts

This group collects the Glaciers and Ice Formations subcategory's members that describe a general class of glacial or periglacial landform rather than one named, located feature: fjords and fjards, the glacier as a landform class in its own right, aretes, tarns, kettle holes, tunnel valleys, glacier caves and trim lines among them. These entries explain how a type of feature forms and where it is typically found, rather than describing one specific instance of it, so they do not fit any single continent group and are kept together as the subcategory's own conceptual, cross-continent entries.
