- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. On a glacier, the accumulation zone is the area above the firn line, where snowfall accumulates and exceeds the losses from ablation, (melting, evaporation, and sublimation). The annual Glacier equilibrium line separates the accumulation and ablation zone annually.The accumulation zone is also defined as the part of a glacier’s surface, usually at higher elevations, on which there is net accumulation of snow, which subsequently turns into firn and then glacier ice.Part of the glacier where snow builds up and turns to ice moves outward from there.he accumulation zone is also defined as the part of a glacier’s surface, usually at higher elevations, on which there is net accumulation of snow, which subsequently turns into firn and then glacier ice.

- Glacier Bay is a collection of fjords and inlets, home to 16 active tidewater glaciers, all five species of Pacific Salmon and 25 percent of the total number of bird species in all North America. It is located in the middle of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, a 3.2 million acre sanctuary. Rangers come on board during the hours you spend in the Bay to explain the various glaciers you will see and the natural history of the region. In just over 200 years, the ice of Glacier Bay has retreated 65 miles. When Captain George Vancouver visited in 1794, the entrance to the Bay was a wall of ice. Entrance to Glacier Bay is closely guarded in order to protect the delicate environment, so cruise lines must apply for permits to visit.

- The longer the terminus of the glacier stays in one place, the more debris accumulate in the moraine. There are two types of end moraines: terminal and recessional. Terminal moraines mark the maximum advance of the glacier. Recessional moraines are small ridges left as a glacier pauses during its retreat.

The subspecies was reported by Dall in 1895.

The maps show the ice movement and changes at the ice front (terminus) of an alpine glacier from the years 1874 to 1882. Points A, B, C, D, and E represent the positions of large markers placed on the glacial ice and left there for the 8 year period. The position of the glacial ice front for 1874, 1878, and 1882 is indicated on each map. Figure 14: Retreating glacier.

- Tidewater glaciers that discharge ice from ice caps or ice sheets (Ice Sheet) into coastal fjords are referred to as tidewater outlet glaciers (Outlet Glacier). Tidewater glaciers are different to land-based valley glaciers (Glacier) in many ways. For tidewater glaciers, the dominant mechanism of ablation is through iceberg calving and surface ablation plays only a minor role in the overall mass balance (Glacier Mass Balance).
