Three major ice centers formed in North America: the Labrador, Keewatin, and Cordilleran. The Cordilleran covered the region from the Pacific Ocean to the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains and the Labrador and Keewatin fields are referred to as the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Central North America has evidence of the numerous lobes and sublobes.
Blanca Glaciers - two extinct glaciers (N.& S. glacier) on Mt. Blanca. These glaciers were located at 37° 35N., longitude 105° 28W. at 12,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. These glaciers were located at 37° 35N., longitude 105° 28W. at 12,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range.
The rapid retreat of the Cordilleran ice sheet is a focus of study by glaciologists seeking to understand the difference in patterns of melting in marine-terminating glaciers, glaciers whose margin extends into open water without seafloor contact, and land-terminating glaciers, with a land or seafloor margin, as scientists believe the western ...
Elephant Foot Glacier, a well-known Piedmont glacier in Romer Lake, northeastern Greenland. [19] Piedmont glaciers are a sub-type of valley glaciers which have flowed out onto lowland plains, where they spread out into a fan-like shape. [12] [16] Examples include: Malaspina Glacier, Alaska, United States; Endeavor Piedmont Glacier, Antarctica

A study done in 2003 on two glaciers indicated they would be completely gone by the year 2030, though some other glaciers may remain as small isolated ice bodies for a longer duration.

The majority of Europe's glaciers are found in the Alps, Caucasus and the Scandinavian Mountains (mostly Norway) as well as in Iceland. Iceland has the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull Glacier, that covers between 8,100 and 8,300 km 2 in area and 3,100 km 3 in volume. Norway alone has more than 2500 glaciers (including very small ones ...
