A Hanging Glacier is a type of glacier that is suspended on a steep cliff or mountain face, rather than resting on the ground. These glaciers often form in areas where the terrain is rugged and the climate is cold enough to support glacial ice. They can be found in various mountain ranges around the world, including the Rocky Mountains and the Alps. Hanging glaciers are typically fed by snow and ice from higher elevations, which accumulates and flows downwards. As they move, they can create stunning landscapes, including dramatic icefalls and seracs. When they melt, they can contribute to the formation of glacial lakes and affect local ecosystems.
