Glaciers have carved some of Earth’s most beautiful landscapes by steepening and deepening valleys through erosion. Think of the Scottish Highlands, Yosemite National Park in the US, or the Norwegian Fjords. But big questions remain about how glacial erosion works.

For the most part that’s because these processes occur under tens, hundreds or even thousands of metres of ice – we simply can’t observe them.
