The main conclusion is that until the Middle Pleistocene, the drainage divide of the Senguer River basin was located to the west of its current limits and its rivers drained the meltwater of the glaciers during interglacial periods.
Additionally, a colder subglacial environment has been maintained by the cold ice shelf meltwater of the Ross Ice Shelf.
Alternating soaks in the sulphurous spring waters with dips in the glacial meltwater of the Elwha River below proved more stimulating than any health spa therapy.
The land falls away to the north, ending with two drumlin-shaped hills on the northern edge, which were probably formed by sediment from the meltwater of the receding glaciers, in a process known as sedimentary fluting.
Rapidly-flowing sectors of an ice sheet (ice streams) can play an important role in abrupt climate change through the delivery of icebergs and meltwater and the subsequent disruption of ocean thermohaline circulation (e.g., the North Atlantic's Heinrich events).
Stunning, domed, translucent-blue ice walls were formed by dripping rain and meltwater, and the weight of all that ice forced out any air bubbles; as a result, light streams into the cave, creating a beautifully eerie look.
The trough is filled with outwash sands and gravels deposited by the meltwaters of the last Pleistocene glaciation.
Jökulsá á Fjöllum, river, northeastern Iceland, fed by the northern meltwaters of the Vatna Glacier in east-central Iceland; it flows northward for 128 miles (206 km) to Axar Fjord, an arm of the Greenland Sea.
Someone recently pointed out that the term moving at a "glacial pace" makes no sense any more, not now that Greenland's ice sheet is pitted and undercut by rushing torrents of meltwater and the glacial landscape of mountaintops from the Andes to the Rockies is changing with almost blinding speed.
Unwilling to admit they did not grasp the basics of say, glaciation, the self-deceiving candidate glides on the meltwater of injustice to seek a reason for their failure.
