Areas where the ice is most easily lifted (i.e. areas with thinner overlying ice sheets) are lifted first. Hence the water may move up the terrain underlying the glacier if it moves toward areas of lower overlying ice. [7] As water collects, additional ice is lifted until a release path is created. [8]
Subglacial lakes form at the boundary between ice and the underlying bedrock, where liquid water can exist above the lower melting point of ice under high pressure. [1] [2] Over time, the overlying ice gradually melts at a rate of a few millimeters per year. [3]

A large body of glacial ice astride a mountain, mountain range, or volcano is termed an ice cap or ice field. [10] Ice caps have an area less than 50,000 km 2 (19,000 sq mi) by definition. Glacial bodies larger than 50,000 km 2 (19,000 sq mi) are called ice sheets or continental glaciers . [ 11 ]
Scratte, the female saber-tooth squirrel in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, is returning for Ice Age: Continental Drift in 2012. In Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, I thought she was killed, and last year on the Wikipedia page List of Ice Age characters it said "Scratte "was" a saber-tooth squirrel", not "Scratte "is" a saber-tooth squirrel".
