| | Glacier Glossary |
 | | A sudden release of melt water from a glacier or glacier-dammed lake sometimes resulting in a catastrophic flood, formed by melting of a channel or by subglacial volcanic activity. | | | Northern hemisphere bergs are fractured off the glacial edge and tend to have jagged tops, while Southern hemisphere bergs have about 60 to 90 meters above the sea and are flat on top because they fractured from the flat topped ice shelves which project out over the Southern oceans. | | | A rock sitting on top of a pillar of ice shielded from insolation by the rock's mass. |
