A galloping glacier is a glacier that, unlike others of their type which move at inches per day, shoots ahead feet per day, an astonishing rate for glaciers. The nickname "the galloping glacier" has also been given to an Alaskan black rapids glacier which set a record for its speed. Galloping glaciers are most likely caused by extra melted snow lubricating the glacier.
