Subglacial Channels

Subglacial Channels is a subglacial hydrological conduit that is incised into the underlying ice or bed and serves to transmit meltwater beneath glaciers or ice sheets, distinguished from other subglacial drainage system components by its capacity to efficiently convey water under pressure through morphologically stable, channelized pathways.
