Bizarre landscape.
On some glaciers, there is also significant surface moraine at the terminus (much more than you see here), and it's very odd-looking. It's essentially a terminal moraine in progress, in areas where the glacier is melting and losing thickness, but has not receded entirely yet. Surface moraine looks like an immense gravel quarry, where piles of gravel have been bulldozed about with no rhyme or reason. In fact, there's glacier just below the rocks, which are only a few feet deep, but you can't see the ice; it looks like immense piles of gravel. On several glaciers we saw, it looked like at least a square mile of gravel piles.
