This picture of a glacier is a composite image as the photographer has attempted to get all of the largest glacier in Europe into one shot.

This glacier is in retreat.

Medial moraine occurs when two glaciers meet and the rock that it scrapes off the mountain as it slides down the mountain is carried down with the ice.

There is much evidence around the world that shows that glaciers are shrinking due to climate change.

Lakes often form at the end of glaciers due to the meltwater. Also, some glaciers feed straight into the sea and when the ice breaks off, it forms icebergs.

If you look closely, you can see the people in the foreground which gives you a sense of the scale of glaciers.
