crevasses

      Explicit

A crevasse is a fracture in a glacier cause by a large tensile stress at or near the glacier's surface. Accelerations in glacier speed cause extension and can initiate a crevasse. Crevasses often have vertical or near-vertical walls, which can then melt and create seracs, arches, etc.; these walls sometimes expose layers that represent the glacier's stratigraphy.
