====Meltwater==== {{main|Urstromtal}} In northern Central Europe, the Scandinavian ice sheet during the various ice ages advanced slightly uphill against the lie of the land. As a result, its meltwaters flowed parallel to the ice margin to reach the North Sea basin, forming huge, flat valleys known as [[Urstromtäler]]. Unlike the other forms of glacial valleys, these were formed by glacial meltwaters. {{Wide image|Hooker Valley in Aoraki-Mount Cook National Park.jpg|650px|New Zealand's Hooker Valley at [[Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park]], with [[Hooker Glacier (New Zealand)|Hooker Glacier]]'s terminus at [[Hooker Lake]] in the background}}
