text: If, for some reason, the terminus retreats slightly, the deeper water upstream of the shoal will cause an increase in iceberg calving; this will result in further retreat into deeper water, which will further increase the calving until the calving speed becomes so high that the normal processes of glacier flow cannot compensate.
