Related to this Topic, though a little OT. But *Important* if you're going to Glacier and Crevice Country.

This regards something I once read about "Runoff Channels in the Ice"! Another variation on the Normal, Well Known Crevices.

Of course Don't Slip or Fall into one! Not only the Depth and the Water therein, (Additionally Cold, Fast Flowing, etc!), -

-But also the Smooth Edges of the Channel (likely pretty Vertical too!), -in which you *Won't* be able to Get a Grip on, -towards Climbing Out! Either immeadiately or over any stretch of time.

Also such Channels also often eventually become Under"ground" Streams in the Ice!...-
