The crevasse or series of crevasses, usually deep and often broad, frequently occurring near the head of a mountain glacier, about where the névé field joins the valley portion of the glacier.
A crevasse at the top of a glacier. The crevasse is caused by ice moving downhill and separating from the mountain.
A crevasse formed at the head of a cirque valley as the glacier ice pulls away from the ice attached to the mountain.
The giant Crevasse Unknown
the highest crevasse on a glacier; separates the glacier below from the ice or snow wall above.
German, "hill gap"] A gap or crevasse at the edge of a glacier.
a crevasse near the head of a glacier
a particular crevasse that forms in the upper limits of a glacier where the moving ice is pulling away from the less mobile ice of the mountain top
The crevasse at the top of a glacier or snowfield where it joins onto the rock or snowfield of the mountain side.
A single large crevasse or series of sub-parallel crevasses that develop at the head of a glacier. The location where ice pulls away from the bedrock wall of the cirque against which it accumulated. In winter, the crevasse fills with snow. In spring or summer, it reopens. (Originally a German term).
Crevasse that forms between a glacier and the permanent snow pack above
Ger: "hill-gap"] - A crevasse that forms the upper or side edge of a glacier where it meets the mountain. butte
The uppermost crevasse on a glacier, where the glacier separates and flows away from the snow/ice field that feeds it.
or 'schrund a crevasse in a glacier or snowfield, formed when the movement of snow or ice diverges away from the fixed mountainside
crevasse that forms on the upper portion of a glacier where the moving section pulls away from the ice cap.
a large crevasse found at the upper limit of glacier movement formed where the moving glacier breaks away from the ice cap or upper snow slope
large crevasse usually found at head of cirque glacier.
A gap or crevasse which appears between a glacier and the upper snows of a mountain's face.
A deep crevasse commonly found at the head of an alpine glacier. Forms when the glacial ice pulls away from the mountain side.
crevasse that separates flowing ice from stagnant ice at the head of a glacier. Explorer on Skillet Glacier in 1936. Bergschrund is visible as the dark band of ice in the background.
A bergschrund is a split or crevasse in the ice of a glacier, where the glacier detaches itself from the mountain's rock. It is often a serious obstacle to a mountaineer wishing to gain access to the mountain.
