Small glacial stream from a melting glacier in Alaska
Glacial streams are also commonly referred to as "glacier stream" or and "glacial meltwater stream". The movement of the water is influenced and directed by gravity and the melting of ice. The melting of ice forms different types of glacial streams such as supraglacial, englacial, subglacial and proglacial streams.
