Glacial Cirques

Glacial Cirque is a bowl-shaped, steep-walled erosional landform carved into mountain slopes by glacial ice accumulation and plucking action at the head of a glacier, distinguishing it from other alpine landforms through its characteristic amphitheater-like geometry and role in headward cirque glacier development.
