    Transverse crevasses, Chugach State Park, Alaska. A crevasse is a deep crack that forms in a glacier or ice sheet.

    A crevasse splay is a sedimentary fluvial deposit which forms when a stream breaks its natural or artificial levees and deposits sediment on a floodplain. A breach that forms a crevasse splay deposits sediments in similar pattern to an alluvial fan deposit. Once the levee has been breached the water flows out of its channel.

  6. Fissure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fissure

    A crevasse may be as deep as 45 m (148 ft) and as wide as 20 m (66 ft). [11] A crevasse may be covered, but not necessarily filled, by a snow bridge made of the previous years' accumulation and snow drifts. The result is that crevasses are rendered invisible, and extremely dangerous to anyone attempting to traverse a glacier. [12]

  7. Bergschrund - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergschrund

    A bergschrund (from the German for mountain cleft; sometimes abbreviated in English to "schrund") is a crevasse that forms where moving glacier ice separates from the stagnant ice or firn above. [1] It is often a serious obstacle for mountaineers. Bergschrunds extend to the bedrock, and can have a depth of well over 100 metres (330 ft).
