Notice the crevasses on each of the glaciers. This photograph dates from 1894. When They Leave Fiords, glaciated valleys, and horns are all erosional types of landforms, created when a glacier cuts away at the landscape. Another type of glacial landform is created by deposition, or what a glacier leaves as it retreats or melts away. An eroded moraine juts above the landscape in the Rhone Valley, Switzerland.
Giant boulders stud some of the pinnacles, left behind by a retreating glacier.
A small tunnel has been cut through the moraine, seen at the center of the photograph. Till is material that is deposited as glaciers retreat, leaving behind mounds of gravel, small rocks, sand and mud. It is made from the rock and soil ground up beneath the glacier as it moves. Glacial till can form excellent soil for farmland. Material a glacier picks up or pushes as it moves form moraines along the surface and sides of the glacier.
