The blue wall of Perito Moreno meets a Patagonian lake. The Great Aletsch Glacier winds below a Swiss ridgeline. See how these rivers of ice take shape, from the ridged tongues of mountain glaciers to tidewater fronts that shed ice into the sea. Each photograph shows the glacier itself and points you toward a place to see it.
