The icefield is home to over 40 large valley glaciers and 100 smaller ones.

A valley glacier cannot avoid the interlocking spurs as a river can.

An ice tongue forms when a valley glacier moves very rapidly out into the ocean or a lake.

Small valley glaciers form icefalls where they meet the trunk glacier.

In the Ice age there were valley glaciers and a 1000 km ice cap.

The western wall of the ice-filled northern crater is breached by a large valley glacier.

They were deposited by valley glaciers coming from Orjen during the Ice age.

It is an extensive area of interconnected valley glaciers from which the higher peaks rise as nunataks.

This means the large valley glaciers are rapidly retreating, as their mass is attempting to achieve equilibrium with the current climate.

The high peaks have been extensively glaciated, and most of the larger stream valleys held valley glaciers during the ice age.
