Elephant Foot Glacier, a well-known Piedmont glacier in Romer Lake, northeastern Greenland. [19] Piedmont glaciers are a sub-type of valley glaciers which have flowed out onto lowland plains, where they spread out into a fan-like shape. [12] [16] Examples include: Malaspina Glacier, Alaska, United States; Endeavor Piedmont Glacier, Antarctica
Ice streams are a type of glacier [5] and many of them have "glacier" in their name, e.g. Pine Island Glacier. Ice shelves are listed separately in the List of Antarctic ice shelves. For the purposes of these lists, the Antarctic is defined as any latitude further south than 60° (the continental limit according to the Antarctic Treaty System). [6]

'glacier tongue') recedes, which initially fills with meltwater, forming a proglacial lake, and later may be filled with surface water from streams or precipitation. When the glacier has more fully retreated this produces a finger lake or glacial piedmont lake (German: Zungenbeckensee , known as a Gletscherendsee of the glacial series in the ...

The Malaspina Glacier (Tlingit: Sít' Tlein) in southeastern Alaska is the largest piedmont glacier in the world. Situated at the head of the Alaska Panhandle, it is about 65 km (40 mi) wide and 45 km (28 mi) long, with an area of some 3,900 km 2 (1,500 sq mi), [ 1 ] approximately the same size as the state of Rhode Island .
A stagnant glacier occupying the mouth of Wright Valley and coalescing at its east side with Wilson Piedmont Glacier. Formerly called Wright Glacier, but that name was amended by the VUWAE (1958–59) to distinguish this glacier from Wright Upper Glacier at the head of Wright Valley.
A gently-sloping ice piedmont at the head of Mobiloil Inlet, formed by the confluence of the Gibbs, Lammers, Cole and Weyerhaeuser Glaciers. The feature was first photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth in November 1935, and was plotted from these photos by W. L. G. Joerg as the lower end of a "major valley depression" along the coast.
