Cryoconite Holes

Cryoconite Holes is a supraglacial hydrological feature consisting of water-filled cylindrical depressions formed on glacier surfaces by the accumulation of cryoconite material, which absorbs solar radiation and enhances localized melt, thereby distinguishing it from other glacial surface features through its biogeochemically active, microclimate-influencing properties.
