The deep cracks in ice caused by ice movement

Large near-vertical fracture open at the surface of a glacier and commonly a route for meltwater flow

Elongated open cracks in glacial ice, usually nearly vertical, and subject to change at any moment Crevasses form due to changes in velocity or gradient They can be oriented to the glacier transverse, longitudinal or oblique and occur in marginal, central or terminal positions on the ice A crevasse which causes an ice block to displace has caused calving Crevasses cannot exceed 50 meters (165 feet) deep because they are closed by plastic flow below that depth

Fissure or crack in a glacier resulting from stress produced by movement. Crevasses range up to 65 ft (20 m) wide, 150 ft (45 m) deep, and several hundred yards long. Crevasses may be bridged by snow and become hidden, and they may close up as the glacier moves
