While ice at the bottom of a glacier generally flows smoothly, the ice overhead is often brittle. As a result, the glacier’s movement causes ruptures on the ice surface, which can be exacerbated by surface melting. <SPAN class="jargon">Foehn winds</SPAN>—warm, dry, down-slope winds—may contribute to glacier melt, and also keep the underlying valley mostly dry. The shallow, blue-green water in the valley bottom is likely laced with rock flour left over from earlier glacial grinding of Greenland’s rocks.
