1. Salt glacierA salt glacier is a flow of salt that is created when a rising diapir in a salt dome breaches the surface. Gravity causes the salt to flow like glaciers into adjacent valleys. Most of the flow occurs during the winter, when the salt is wet, as salt strength is critically dependent on its water content. The resulting tongue-shaped bodies can extend for kilometers, with repeating bow-shaped ridges separated by crevasse-like gullies and with steep sides and fronts.
