Life Around The Glacier The Big Shuffle High Elevation Homes Shhh, Pups Sleeping How To Enjoy The Glaciers How It All Started Glacier Heaven - Southeast Alaska A laska has hosted a glacier-favoring mixture of climate and topography for the last 12.5 million years. During the Pleistocene age, when the climate was 3 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit colder than it is today, an ice sheet covered a large expanse of the earth, including the islands of southeastern Alaska. Today there are still over 100,000 glaciers in Alaska, although ice covers only 5 percent of the state. The icefields and glaciers of the Tongass National Forest are some of the few remnants of the once-vast ice sheets. In Southeast Alaska, maritime climate and coastal mountains work together to create favorable conditions for glaciation. The icefields straddle the Coast Mountain Range on the United States-Canadian border, directly in the path of the Pacific Ocean's prevailing winds. Moist air flows toward the mountains, rises, cools, and releases snow and rain. Annual snowfall on the Juneau Icefield exceeds 100 feet, and mild Southeast summers assure that winter snow accumulation exceeds summer snowmelt at higher elevations.

45. Glaciers, Rivers Of Ice glaciers. This website is devoted to my interest in the rivers of ice knownas glaciers. Composition of a typical Glacier and the types of glaciers. http://members.aol.com/scipioiv/glmain.html

Glaciers This website is devoted to my interest in the rivers of ice known as glaciers. It was inaugurated as part of the requirements of a course I have taken in the geology of National Parks, but I've been always fascinated by the idea of ice flowing like a river, scouring the landscape in its wake, nature's force in slow, glacial motion. I've never seen a glacier firsthand, alas, but hopefully one day that will change. I think that my best bet may be Mt. Rainier. I have even bought a Kodak travel video of Mt. Rainier National Park. My page may change at a glacial pace, but it was last modified 05-Jul-2003 10:08 AM In the meantime, here, you can explore this fascinating world of the rivers of ice in a virtual manner, and even find information on National Parks which feature glaciers, or landscapes once carved by them. You will also therein the geology of the various types of glaciers, from what is a glacier to how they work, to features in landscapes created by glaciers. I recommend going through the pages in order, even if you do know some geology. In my research to put up this site, I learned lots of interesting information I had never even suspected about glaciers. Perhaps you'll be pleasantly surprised as well. I would like to thank everyone, teachers, parents and students alike, who have visited my site. As always, please feel free to

Glaciers go to geology Image list Rivers Rivers of Ice Glacial ice is one of the foremost scenic and scientific values of Olympic National Park. There are about 266 glaciers crowning the Olympics peaks; most of them are quite small in contrast to the great rivers of ice in Alaska. The prominent glaciers are those on Mount Olympus covering approximately ten square miles. Beyond the Olympic complex are the glaciers of Mount Carrie, the Bailey Range, Mount Christie, and Mount Anderson. In the company of these glaciers are perpetual snowbanks that have the superficial appearance of glacial ice. Because they are lacking in the criteria below, they are not true glaciers. True glaciers are structurally three layered bodies of frozen water. The top layer is snow; the middle neve, or mixed snow and ice; and the bottom layer is of pure ice, which is quite plastic in nature. Crevasses or deep cracks in the glaciers form as the ice is subjected to uneven flow over alpine terrain. Another structural feature is the bergschrund, which is a prominent crevasse-like opening at the head of the glacier where the ice has been pulled away from the mountain wall. The rate of glacial flow is quite variable and Olympic glaciers are "slow-moving" in contrast to some in Alaska, which occasionally move at the rate of several hundred feet per day for short periods of time. There is no great advance of Olympic glaciers today and each has retreated substantially since the late 1800's. Still, forward surges in glacial flow do occur after a number of very heavy winters and cool summers, but such activity has been relatively infrequent with Olympic glaciers in recorded time.

48. Glaciers & Landforms glaciers Landforms. by Patrick M. Colgan, Department of Geology,Northeastern University Introduction. The Formation of glaciers. http://www.casdn.neu.edu/~geology/department/staff/colgan/iceland/glaciers.htm

by Patrick M. Colgan, Department of Geology, Northeastern University Introduction Iceland is an excellent place to study glaciers and glacial landforms. In this satellite photo of southeastern Iceland you can see Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Europe. About 10% of the land area of Iceland is covered by glaciers. During the last Ice Age almost all of the country was covered by permanent snow and glacier ice. In this section you will learn about how glaciers form, how they are classified, and what types of landforms they create. A glacier is a thick mass of ice that forms from the compaction and recrystallization of snow. The ice in a glacier is moving under the force of gravity. Glaciers form in an area, simply because more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the following summer. This usually occurs in areas of high elevation and or high latitude. During the last Ice Age the conditions for glacier formation spread greatly over the Northern Hemisphere. The Formation of Glaciers Glaciers form in areas where more snow falls in winter than melts during summer. When temperatures remain below freezing following a snowfall, a fluffy accumulation of new snow soon begins to change. Evaporation and recondensation of water causes recrystallization to form smaller, thicker and more spherical grains of ice. This recrystallized snow is called

56. How Glaciers Form And Flow How glaciers Form And Flow. glaciers are moreor-less permanent How glaciersform and flow. glaciers develop where the temperatures are http://www.zephryus.demon.co.uk/geography/resources/glaciers/origin.html

How Glaciers Form And Flow Glaciers are more-or-less permanent bodies of ice and compacted snow that have become deep enough and heavy enough to flow under their own weight. Today, glaciers are found in mountainous regions or in the very cold areas around the poles, and cover only about 10% of the Earth's surface. During past glacial periods this area increased considerably so, although active glaciation is very limited in Europe now, and non-existent in the UK, much of the landscape of northern Europe shows evidence of past glacial activity. How glaciers form and flow Glaciers develop where the temperatures are cold enough to allow snow to accumulate over a period of years. Favourable conditions are found around the poles and at high altitudes in lower latitudes, i.e. mountainous regions such Northern Scandanavia and the Alps. Enough snow must fall each winter to ensure that it doesn't all melt in the summer. This way, the amount of snow lying on the ground gets deeper each year as new snow is added to the remains of last years fall. On north facing slopes it may survive all year without melting, whereas all the snow may melt on south facing slopes ( in the northern hemisphere ). This is because north facing slopes get much less direct sunshine than south facing ones, and thus remain cooler.

58. Valley Glaciers Valley glaciers. Valley glaciers. U shaped valley with flat floor in the EuropeanAlps. Valley glaciers usually start life in either corries or ice sheets. http://www.zephryus.demon.co.uk/geography/resources/glaciers/valley.html

Valley Glaciers Valley glaciers Valley glaciers are streams of flowing ice that are confined within steep walled valleys, often following the course of an ancient river valley. The downward erosive action of the ice carves the valley into a broad U shape, in contrast to the steeper V shape that is produced during the early stages of erosion by rivers. A U shape valley with a flat floor is good evidence of the past glaciation of an area. U shaped valley with flat floor in the European Alps Valley glaciers usually start life in either corries or ice sheets. Glacial ice flowing down hill from either of these sources will follow any existing valleys or easy routes, eroding and enlarging them as it moves. Often several corrie glaciers will combine to feed a single valley glacier. In the photograph below, three small corries are feeding a small valley glacier Three corries feeding a valley glacier in a hanging valley In large systems, valley glaciers may join and form larger glaciers with much greater erosional power than they had as smaller individuals. As the main glacier erodes its valley downwards more quickly than surrounding valleys, they are left behind, finally becoming hanging valleys. Rock debris falls from the steep valley walls and litters the glacier surface. This occurs particularly along the edges, where rock debris builds up and is known as lateral moraine. Where two glaciers meet and flow into each other, the two edges where the meeting occurs become the centre of the new glacier. The two lateral moraines combine to form a medial moraine.
