Ice streams are a type of glacier [5] and many of them have "glacier" in their name, e.g. Pine Island Glacier. Ice shelves are listed separately in the List of Antarctic ice shelves. For the purposes of these lists, the Antarctic is defined as any latitude further south than 60° (the continental limit according to the Antarctic Treaty System). [6]

Such lakes created by glacial action are also called fjord lakes or moraine-dammed lakes. [54] Some of these lakes were salt after the ice age but later cut off from the ocean during the post-glacial rebound. [19] At the end of the ice age Eastern Norway was about 200 m (660 ft) lower (the marine limit). When the ice cap receded and allowed the ...
Yamdrok Lake. The geography of Tibet consists of the high mountains, lakes and rivers lying between Central, East and South Asia.Traditionally, Western (European and American) sources have regarded Tibet as being in Central Asia, though today's maps show a trend toward considering all of modern China, including Tibet, to be part of East Asia.
The Great Lakes are the largest glacial lakes in the world. The prehistoric glacial Lake Agassiz once held more water than contained by all lakes in the world today. A glacial lake is a body of water with origins from glacier activity. They are formed when a glacier erodes the land and then melts, filling the depression created by the glacier. [1]
The Tibetan Plateau contains the largest area of low-latitude glaciers and is particularly vulnerable to global warming. Over the past five decades, 80% of the glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau have retreated, losing 4.5% of their combined areal coverage. [46] This region is also liable to suffer damages from permafrost thaw caused by climate change.
