The document discusses various features of the Steinalp Glacier in Switzerland, including meltwater, moraines, crevasses, ice composition, erratics, debris, braided rivers, and striations. It provides photographs from 2006 to illustrate classical glacial features like lateral and recessional moraines, meltwater lakes, and how meltwater reworks glacial deposits. The photographs are meant to accompany a powerpoint presentation on the Matterhorn Glaciers and provide unlabeled images for teachers to develop into a lesson.

11. The Steinalp Glacier, Switzerland These pictures were taken in August 2006 – they may well be used in connection with the powerpoint “Classical Glacial Features – The Matterhorn Glaciers. The slides have been left without special labels but key words have been included. Teachers can develop this resource further. Points to note: Picture 7 – the lateral moraine is covering the glacier which cannot be seen beneath it – the insert shows how material accumulates at the base – 8 – the insert shows how meltwater streams rework glacial deposits, 9 – the recessional moraine holds back a small meltwater lake.
