causing huge craters in the earth
Actually they cut valleys, not "craters", and leave various moraine forms. They do not "damage" the Earth, they are a natural, landscape-developing mechanism.
Certain rare glacial events can damage man-made things like roads, and they are hazardous to wander onto without proper precautions - but you can't blame the glaciers.
A glacier can not do any damage to earth and it depends on the size of the glacier if it is huge it may flood
* Fryingpan Glacier * Nisqually Glacier * Paradise Glacier * Pyramid Glacier * Puyallup Glacier * South Tahoma Glacier * Tahoma Glacier * Success Glacier * Sarvent Glacier
It is a valley glacier
No, a glacier canyon is not a real glacier. A glacier canyon is a canyon formed by the movement of a glacier over time, carving out the landscape as it flows.
Penck Glacier (Tanzania); Pine Island Glacier, Polar Times Glacier, Priestley Glacier (Antarctica); Panchchuli Glacier, Pindari Glacier (India); Panmar Glacier, Passu Glacier (Pakistan); Pasterze Glacier (Austria); Platigliole Glacier, Praz-SecGlacier, Presena Glacier (Italy); Peyto Glacier, Pemberton Icefield (Canada); Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl, Glacier (Mexico); Portage Glacier, Princeton Glacier (Alaska); etc
It is apline glacier
The massiveness of the earthquake damage challenged the emergency response teams. The massiveness of the glacier can only be appreciated by a visit to the mountain.
There are quite a few glaciers to hike to in Glacier, but probably the most-visited glacier is Grinnell Glacier, located in the Many Glacier Valley.
* Franz Josef Glacier * Fox Glacier * Tasman Glacier * Hukawai Glacier * Haast Glaciers
The tip of a glacier is called the glacier terminus or glacier snout. It is the furthest point reached by the glacier as it flows downhill.
You could see evidence the glacier was melting as the sun shone upon it.
