    A glacier originates at a location called its glacier head and terminates at its glacier foot, snout, or terminus. Glaciers are broken into zones based on surface snowpack and melt conditions. [ 22 ] The ablation zone is the region where there is a net loss in glacier mass.

Since the latest interglacial period began around 10,000 years ago, there have been regular climate shifts causing periods of glacier growth or melt-back.

    Outlet glaciers drain inland glaciers through gaps found in the surrounding topography. [4] A higher amount of inland glacial melt ultimately increases the amount of outlet glacier output. [ 14 ] Studies predict that outlet glaciers found in Greenland can increase the global sea level considerably following an increase in global temperature ...
