| Bridalveil Falls with a rainbow forming in its spray, dropping 620 into Yosemite Valley, displaying peak water flow in spring months from deep snowpack and warm weather melt. Yosemite Valley. Image ID: 16160 Location: Bridalveil Falls, Yosemite National Park, California, USA | Vernal Falls and Merced River in spring, heavy flow due to snow melt in the high country above Yosemite Valley. Image ID: 26878 Location: Yosemite National Park, California, USA | Glacial erratic boulders atop Olmsted Point, with the massive granite monoliths Half Dome and Clouds Rest in the background. Erratics are huge boulders left behind by the passing of glaciers which carved the granite surroundings into their present-day form. When the glaciers melt, any boulders and other geologic material that it was carrying are left in place, sometimes many miles from their original location.

| Glacial melt waters, runoff, flows across an alluvial flood plain between mountains, on its way to Stromness Bay. Image ID: 24587 Location: Stromness Harbour, South Georgia Island | Shackleton Falls, named for explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, formed from glacial meltwaters, near Stromness Bay. Image ID: 24588 Location: Stromness Harbour, South Georgia Island | Iceberg with scalloped erosion. The eroded indentations on this iceberg were melted when this portion of the iceberg was underwater. As it melted, the iceberg grew topheavy, eventually flipping and exposing this interesting surface. Image ID: 24789 Location: Paulet Island, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica |
