There are many buried glacial scars on the mountain which were originally created in recent glacial periods (" ice ages ") of the present Wisconsinian glaciation.

Land bridges can be created by marine regression, in which sea levels fall, exposing shallow, previously submerged sections of continental shelf ; or when new land is created by plate tectonics ; or occasionally when the sea floor rises due to post-glacial rebound after an ice age.

Based aboard the research icebreaker, CCGS Amundsen, the CFL project examined the “ flaw lead ” system, a circumpolar phenomenon created when the central Arctic ice pack moves away from coastal ice, leaving areas of open water.

Many of these are so-called ' kettle lakes ,' formed by the melting of blocks of glacial ice, left as the glacier retreated, which created a depression in the soil.

This celebration was created to draw tourism to the town for ice fishing.

Baxter is located just north of the geographical center of Minnesota, in a terminal moraine area created by the Superior Lobe of the Labradorian ice sheet.

Long Lake itself is the remnants of the glaciers, as it was a chunk of ice that was left behind, melted, and created the lake in the hole it occupied.

A recently developed, popular category of sparkling wine is sparkling ice wine, first created accidentally in 1988, by Canadian wine writer, Konrad Ejbich, in his home cellar.

As the ice sheet disintegrated, it created at its front an immense proglacial lake, formed from its meltwaters, as the retreat of glacial margins is not caused by a reversal of the glacier's flow, but rather from melting of the ice sheet.

In eastern Switzerland, the summers of 1816 and 1817 were so cool that an ice dam formed below a tongue of the Giétro Glacier high in the Val de Bagnes.

In spite of the efforts of the engineer Ignaz Venetz to drain the growing lake, the ice dam collapsed catastrophically in June 1818.

Port Deposit benefited from the dam as well ; destructive accumulations of ice ( referred to as ice gouges ) no longer accumulated in the Conowingo Rapids or passed through Port Deposit, as it had to terrible effect in 1907.

In 1831, a dam was constructed on the Mohawk River above the city's waterfall by the new Cohoes Company, it was soon swept away by ice and a new one was built the following year.

" It was chartered for the purpose of " erecting a dam, for pleasure, boating, skating, fishing and the cutting, storing and selling of ice.

The dam was destroyed by ice in March 1904.

Flash floods may occur after the collapse of a natural ice or debris dam, or a human structure such as a man-made dam, as occurred before the Johnstown Flood of 1889.

This siting proved inauspicious, however, when in 1994 a glacial lake 90 kilometers upstream burst through its ice dam to cause a massive flood on the Pho Chhu, damaging the dzong and taking 23 lives.

As temperatures warmed around 15, 000 years ago, the ice dam holding the lake in place burst, unleashing a catastrophic flood that carved the Dells of the Wisconsin River and joined the upper stretches of the river with the pre-existing lower river valley that today flows from Portage to Prairie du Chien.

The melting of an ice dam at the close of the last ice age greatly reduced water levels in the region, leaving the lakes of today.

He suggested a concrete dam could flood the plateau, just as nature blocked it with ice centuries ago.

He took part in Series 4 of Adrenaline Junkie ( aired on 1 October 2008 on ITV2 ), the tasks involved taking on the world's biggest bungee down the front of the dam which featured in GoldenEye, building his very own ice hotel in the mountains, and undertook a terrifying mid-air jump from one cable car to another.

The Arthur Kill is an abandoned river channel carved by an ancestral phase of the Hudson River resulting from the blockage of the main channel of the Hudson at the Narrows by moraine or an ice dam.

The lake was the result of an ice dam on the Clark Fork caused by the southern encroachment of a finger of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet into the Idaho Panhandle ( at the present day location of Clark Fork, Idaho at the east end of Lake Pend Oreille ).

The height of the ice dam typically approached, flooding the valleys of western Montana approximately eastward.

The periodic rupturing of the ice dam resulted in the Missoula Floods – cataclysmic floods that swept across Eastern Washington and down the Columbia River Gorge approximately 40 times during a 2, 000 year period.

More likely, though, it was human error by releasing too much water from the hydro dam up river from the town while ice blocked river below it.

As the ice melted, small glaciers were left in corries where moraines now dam lakes such as at Loughs Bray and Nahanagan.

These floods are more of an inconvenience than a danger, but can be more serious, especially when ice jams dam up the water.

The lake was held back by an ice dam of the remaining glacier.
