For many years, largely because of the modeled instability of water ice in the midlatitudes where the putative glacial features were concentrated, it was argued that almost all glaciers were rock glaciers on Mars.

Rock glaciers have been seriously intervened by Andina since the late 1980s, when it started to deposit several million tons of waste rock on top of rock glaciers, resulting in their acceleration and partial destabilisation.

The path quickly drops over a ridge and to the lake, losing both the marmot and any sign of civilization as it plateaus amid a primeval, almost moonlike landscape of gray granite and rock glaciers.

"' Rock glaciers "'are distinctive geomorphological landforms, consisting either of angular rock debris frozen in Mars Orbiter spacecraft . A rock glacier, especially if its origin is unclear, can be considered as a discrete debris accumulation.

In addition, since 2004, new glaciers have formed on the crater wall above Crater Glacier feeding rock and ice onto its surface below; there are two rock glaciers to the north of the eastern lobe of Crater Glacier.

Hiking is a popular activity on trails such as St . Elias Lake, Mush Lake Road, Shorty Creek, Cottonwood, Rock Glacier, King's Throne, Kokanee, Auriol, Dezadeash River Trail, Alsek Trail, Sheep Creek Trail, Bullion Plateau Trail, Slims West or Soldiers Summit.

Glaciers develop in the Andes of Chile from 27?S southwards and in a very few places north of 18?0'S in the extreme north of the country : in between they are absent because of extreme aridity, though rock glaciers formed from permafrost are common.

This resulted in a very rapid advance of the glacier termini; first the western glacier arm merged with the rock glacier on the western crater wall and then, both arms of the Crater Glacier joined north 1980s lava dome in May 2008, despite the volcanic activity.
