Glacier glass, also known as glacial silt or rock flour, is a fine, powdery sediment produced by the grinding action of glaciers as they move over rock surfaces. This silt is often composed of finely crushed minerals and can give glacially-fed rivers and lakes a distinctive turquoise or milky appearance due to its light-scattering properties. It plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by affecting water chemistry and supporting various forms of aquatic life. Additionally, glacier glass is sometimes used in construction and decorative applications due to its unique texture and color.
