The Furtwängler Glacier located near the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is a small remnant of an enormous icecap which once crowned the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The glacier is named after Walter Furtwängler, who along with Ziegfried Koenig, were the fourth to ascend to the summit of Kilimanjaro in 1912.

The Rebmann Glacier located near the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is a small remnant of an enormous icecap which once crowned the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Rebmann Glacier is named for the German missionary and explorer, Johann Rebmann who was the first white explorer to report of snow and glaciers atop Mount Kilimanjaro in 1848.

Mendenhall Glacier is about 12 miles long. It is located in Mendenhall Valley, about 12 miles from downtown Juneau in southeast Alaska. The glacier has receded 1.75 miles (2.8 km) since 1910, when Mendenhall Lake was created, and over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) since 1700.

The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center is located on Mendenhall lake, south of the glacier.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/25191/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/25191/ Tue, 24 Oct 2006 11:17:46 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/25191/ 58.43767100 -134.53840300 <![CDATA[Esker in Canadian arctic]]>

(Hoth Ice Planet Location from The Empire Strikes Back)

From http://www.starwars.com/databank/location/hoth/?id=bts:

The Hoth battle sequences were filmed on location atop the Härdangerjøkulen Glacier in Finse, Norway. The locale was located about four miles (6.4 kilometers) from the ski lodge that served as production headquarters. Formed of stark blue ice, and 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) high at its summit, the glacier required very little visual effects work to transform it into the ice planet of Hoth. The production crew had to endure subzero temperatures, chilling winds and the occasional avalanche.]]>

One of the most interesting natural occurances caught in a google satellite photo is the Hubbard Glacier reaching Gilbert Point, across Russell Fjord. The glacier periodically dams the fjord, creating a temporary Russell Lake that rises considerably from freshwater flow. Eventually though, the dam is washed away and the fjord is open again until Hubbard dams it again.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/4184/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/4184/ Wed, 29 Jun 2005 15:18:22 -0500 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/4184/ 60.02105700 -139.48585500 <![CDATA[Mendenhall Glacier]]>
