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 ).
Several glaciers flow into the Shimshal Valley, and are prone to blocking the river. Khurdopin glacier surged in 2016–17, creating a sizable lake.

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
An early Glacier Loss Day means that the potential for further mass loss of a glacier is much higher. [3] At Hintereisferner the low winter accumulation and the early start of the ablation season defined the early GLD and gave way to a long and extensive ice ablation period. Mass loss was therefore 5 times higher than in the 2 preceding years.
