At an elevation of 2800 metres, the lower end of a glacier snapped off. The break-off had a width of about 80 metres and a height of 25 metres. The detached volume was estimated to be 65,000 ± 10,000 cubic metres. [6] The seismic energy released was comparable to an earthquake of 0.6 M. [1]

The William Glacier in Antarctica partially collapsed in the same week as Antarctica's hottest recorded day at 65ºF. It lasted for several minutes and stretched half a mile.
Fox Glacier, New Zealand. A serac (/ s ɛ ˈ r æ k ˌ ˈ s ɛ r æ k /) (from Swiss French sérac) is a block or column of glacial ice, often formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier. Commonly house-sized or larger, they are dangerous to mountaineers, since they may topple with little warning. Even when stabilized by persistent cold ...
The Trift glacier forefield lies in the retreat area of the Trift Glacier in the municipality of Innertkirchen, Canton Bern, between the Susten Pass and the Grimsel Pass. It extends from the glacier break-off (approx. 2300 m above sea level) to the Sunnige Trift (1325 m a. sea level) below the Graaggilamm. The area is drained by the Triftwasser ...
The character of the sediment depends upon this water source, as well as the proximity of a sampled area to both the edge of the glacier and the edge of the lake. [4] The amount of debris atop the glacier also has a large effect. [4] Naturally, long lived lakes have a different sedimentary record to shorter lived pools. [4]
A glacier stream is a channelized area that is formed by a glacier in which liquid water accumulates and flows. [1] Glacial streams are also commonly referred to as "glacier stream" or/and "glacial meltwater stream". The movement of the water is influenced and directed by gravity and the melting of ice. [1]
