		A so-called glacier run (literal translation of (A Scandinavian language that is the official language of Iceland) Icelandic "jökulhlaup") is due to the eruption of a (A mountain formed by volcanic material) volcano under a (A slowly moving mass of ice) glacier.
		A glacier run is a type of (An avalanche of volcanic water and mud down the slopes of a volcano) lahar.
		It is not by chance that the term "glacier run" comes from the Icelandic, as the south of Iceland has very often been victim to such catastrophes.

		The retreating of glaciers is caused by the warming of the globe.
		Further down the glacier is the "ablation area", where the snowfall is equal to the snowmelt.
		Falling rain and glacier run-off was trapped by this moraine forming a lake.

	Encyclopedia: Glacier run
		A glacier run (literal translation of Icelandic "jÃ¶kulhlaup") is due to the eruption of a volcano under a glacier.
		Lately, this was the case when in 1996 the volcano under the GrÃmsvÃ¶tn lakes belonging to the VatnajÃ¶kull glacier erupted and the river SkeiÃ°arÃ¡ flooded the land in front of Skaftafell National Park.
		MÃ½rdalsjÃ¶kull MÃ½rdalsjÃ¶kull is a glacier in the south of Iceland.

	Vatnajökull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With a size of 8,100 km², it is the largest glacier in Europe in volume and the second largest (after Austfonna on Nordaustlandet, Svalbard) in area.
		Under the glacier, as under many of the glaciers of Iceland, there are some volcanoes.
		The volcanic lakes, Grímsvötn for example, were the sources of a large glacier run in 1996.

		It is situated to the north of Vík í Mýrdal and to the east of the smaller glacier Eyjafjallajökull.
		Before the National motorway no.1 had been constructed, people feared traversing the plains in front of the volcano because of the often occurring glacier runs and the deep rivers to cross.
		Especially fatal was the glacier run after the eruption of 1918.

	Pennsylvania State Parks - Hickory Run Wildlife - PA DCNR
		When the glacier melts and retreats, this debris is dropped, making a landscape of bogs and glacial till which is called a moraine.
		The steep valleys of the western side of the park were carved by the billions of gallons of water that streamed away from the melting glacier.
		The habitats of the glaciated side of the park are characterized by sphagnum moss bogs, evergreen trees and thin, moist soil.

	Terri Shaw Chamonix Story
		Annie, who had skied with us earlier in the week with her husband, Mike, was as nervous as I was; we had both heard about the steep walk down the ridge at the top of the run, with dropoffs of several thousand feet on each side.
		Glacier ice is not always solid, and sometimes a skier will slide across a snow bridge over a chasm without realizing it.
		On both sides of the glacier were stony lateral moraines, formed by rocks deposited by the glacier as it receded.

		Hickory Run State Park The 15,500-acre Hickory Run State Park, Carbon County, lies in the western foothills of the Pocono Mountains.
		The lower 2.9 miles of Hickory Run, from near the Saylorsville Dam to the Lehigh River, is a catch and release fishing only area.
		The glacier eradicated most life present at the time and left as its legacy a region of poor, rocky soil that is almost impossible to farm.

		It is especially feared because of the frequent glacier runs that can be fatal.
		At the peak of this glacier run, 45,000 m³/s of water were coming down.
		Luckily, no persons were harmed, scientists having very carefully monitored the volcano Grimsvötn on Vatnajökull which caused the glacier run by its eruption.

	[Bearfolks] Sows may run show in Glacier (fwd) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A recent study of Glacier National Park's grizzly bears indicates, surprisingly, that the missus may be the master of these backcountry wilds.
		The difference, she said, may be due to the fact that rubbing on trees "is a male thing," serving as a way to communicate through "scent posts" with other males in the range.
		However, that's a big "if." For now, Kendall is not placing bets on whether her samples are indicative of the broader population and whether the gals outnumber the guys in the field as in her sampling.

		A bit of nearly every beer that Glacier brews spends some time in oak, which often imparts a vanilla character as well as some of whatever was in the barrel before.
		Glacier’s recently released, oak-aged Vienna lager was one of the creamiest, smoothest beers I’d had in a long time – but even more exciting is a special beer perking away now in the Glacier conditioning room, in a barrel imported from the Ukraine.
		Glacier’s Russian Imperial Stout was brewed earlier this year and isn’t slated for release until December, when Glacier kicks off its annual 12 Days of Barleywine celebration, culminating on winter solstice.

		Flying on the lee side of a mountain ridge usually means downdrafts and the windward side usually means updrafts, and depending on your direction it could also mean downdrafts in the whole area of intended landing.
		Although making the turn around up the glacier for a downhill pass can be hazardous, it is better than flying up the glacier because it is usually impossible to out-climb the glacier.
		These skis are very popular because they are lighter and will handle most requirements -- and they're also less expensive -- but there's more drag on these skis from the main wheel and the little wheel on the end of the ski to keep the ski from scraping on the dry runway.

		The Glacier water is still safe to drink, said Lea Brooks, spokeswoman for the Department of Health Services.
		Glacier's machines draw water from the tap and run it through a series of filters, dispensing it for between 20 cents and 35 cents a gallon -- versus the two-tenths or less of a cent consumers pay for tap water.
		For that markup, the water is supposed to be free of chemical contaminants, the report notes, and California is one of the few states requiring vended water to be cleaner than tap.

	Alaskan Warming is Disturbing Preview of What's to Come, Scientists Say
		By 1993, the Portage glacier had receded so much that it no longer could be seen from the visitors' center.
		Portage is "a glacier that's almost out of water; it's thinned dramatically," said U.S. Geological Survey geologist Bruce Molnia, the author of the book "Glaciers of Alaska." About 98 percent of Alaska's glaciers are retreating or stagnant, he said.
		Alaskan glaciers add 13.2 trillion gallons of melted water to the seas each year - the equivalent of more than 13 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, University of Alaska in Fairbanks scientists concluded after a decade of studying glaciers with airborne lasers.

	Moving mountains: The laws behind glacial erosion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Glaciers can dramatically modify landscape, cutting through mountain ranges to form spectacular valleys, and piling up sediments around the ice.
		If a glacier digs too deep, strong thermodynamic feedbacks prevent further deepening, resulting in a balance where the glacial floor tilts 50% more steeply than the ice surface above, in the opposite direction.
		In the long run the glacier bed only deepens as rapidly as the rivers in front of the glacier cut downward, though climate and perturbation of the glacier can cause more rapid, short-lived erosion.
