The deposits in the ice proximal part of the outwash plain were deposited atop the glacial terminus, and when the ice melted away, these (Fig. 9) deposits collapsed to form an irregular surface that sloped steeply in an up-ice direction.

Glacial ice has a density of about 850 kilograms per cubic meter. The density of snow ranges from about 50 to 300 kilograms per cubic meter (the density of fresh ... Figure 10ae-5: Advance of the glacier's terminus occurs when the addition of snow in the zone of accumulation exceeds losses of ice in the zone of ablation.

During the period of 1971 to 1975, Ivory Glacier was reduced 30 m at the glacial terminus and the loss of ice during the period was 13.9 x 106 m3. 26 % of the surface area of the glacier was lost over the same period.
