Icefall

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006445

A section of a glacier where the ice flows rapidly over a steep incline or irregular terrain, resulting in a chaotic and heavily crevassed surface. The intense fracturing and movement in an icefall make it a hazardous area for travel. These features are dynamic and constantly changing due to the continuous flow of glacial ice.
