Linia de grund

Linia de grund – marginea contactului tălpii ghețarului (calotei glaciare) cu fundul rezervorului, este linia de grunduire (vezi schema).
Este situată într-un loc în care presiunea porțiunii ghețarului de pe suprafața apei este contrabalansată cu puterea flotabilității porțiunii acestuia aflate sub apă. De pe partea plutitoare a calotei glaciare se pot desprinde aisberguri care să acopere întreaga sa grosime – se crează plăci de aisberguri cu suprafața de până la 2 km.
