Glacier caves and subglacial water in Nordland, Norway
Glacier caves, created when streams flowing down the adjacent valley side continue beneath the ice, tend to be elongate tunnels of approximately circular cross-section, sloping down towards the centre of the glacier. Caves formed as glaciers lose contact with an irregular surface over which they are...
