Glacial lakes have been rapidly forming on the surface of the debris-covered glaciers in this region during the last few decades. USGS researchers have found a strong correlation between increasing temperatures and glacial retreat in this region. Glacial motion is the motion of glaciers, which can be likened to rivers of ice. It has played an ...

Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand Features of a glacial landscape. Glacier morphology, or the form a glacier takes, is influenced by temperature, precipitation, topography, and other factors. [1] The goal of glacial morphology is to gain a better understanding of glaciated landscapes and the way they are shaped. [2]
Glacial striations at Mount Rainier National Park Glacial grooves stemming from the Wisconsin glaciation at Kelleys Island, Ohio. Glacial striations or striae are scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by glacial abrasion. These scratches and gouges were first recognized as the result of a moving glacier in the late 18th century when Swiss ...
Glacial archaeology, or ice patch archaeology, is a new field in which artifacts emerge through melting ice as a result of climate change. These artifacts are usually well-preserved (due to their encasement in ice), but decay quickly once exposed to the elements. One of the first such discoveries was made by hikers in 1991, with Ötzi. Such ...
Modrac Lake (Bosnian: Jezero Modrac) is an artificial lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Located in the municipality of Lukavac, it is home to many species of fish and is popular with fishermen.
Thwaites Glacier is an unusually broad and vast Antarctic glacier located east of Mount Murphy, on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land.It was initially sighted by polar researchers in 1940, mapped in 1959–1966 and officially named in 1967, after the late American glaciologist Fredrik T. Thwaites.
Palynological analysis in Chiloé reveal the existence of at least three warm periods, or interstadials, during the Llanquihue glaciation.One interstadial begun 57,000 years before present (yrs BP) and ended no later than 49.000 yrs BP, another that begun 50,000 yrs BP and ended no later than 47,000 yrs BP and a third one from 45,000 to 35,000 yrs BP.
