Snow pack in September

There is a ski resort on Mt. Etna - this snow has been covered by ash providing insulation so it survives the hot summer.

Hanging Valley

Kettle Depression

"A steep-sided, usually basin or bowl shaped hole or depression, commonly with out surface drainage, in glacial-drift deposits (Esp. outwash and kame fields), often containing a lake or swamp; formed by the melting of a large detached block of stagnent ice (left behind by a retreating glacier) that has been wholly or partially buried in glacial drift." Glossary of Geology 5th Ed.

Polished by a glacier

Drop Rock

Floating on a ice - Anarctica

U SHaped Valley

Congelifraction or Gelifraction

"The mechinical disintegration, splitting, or breakup of rock or soil due to the great pressure exerted by freexing of water contained in cracks or pores, or along bedding planes: Glossary of Geology 5th Edition

Rock or Glacial flour forming dunes

"Rock Flour - Finely comminuted, chemically unweathered material consisting of silt- and clay-sized angular particles of rock forming minerals, chiefly quartz, formed when rock fragments are pulverized while being transported or are crushed by the weight of superincumbent material. The term is most commonly applied to very fine powder when stones embedded in a glacier or ice sheet abrade the underlying rocks, and is deposited as the matrix in till or in outwash deposits" Glossary of Geology 5th Edition

Flour Dunes

"Rock Flour - Finely comminuted, chemically unweathered material consisting of silt- and clay-sized angular particles of rock forming minerals, chiefly quartz, formed when rock fragments are pulverized while being transported or are crushed by the weight of superincumbent material.

Solifluction

solifluction, flowage of water-saturated soil down a steep slope. Because permafrost is impermeable to water, soil overlying it may become oversaturated and slide downslope under the pull of gravity. Soil that has been opened and weakened by frost action is most susceptible. Movement is at a maximum rate of a few inches per day, eventually producing smooth, gentle, concave slopes. Original stratifications of the soil become contorted if not completely destroyed"Enclylopedia Britannica

Fjords of Baffin Island

FJORD (Pron: fyord) (a) A long, narrow, winding, glacially-eroded inlet or arm of the sea, U-shaped and steep-walled, generally several hundred meters deep, between high rocky cliffs or slopes along a mountainous coast; typically, with a shallow sill or threshold of solid rock or earth material submerged near its mouth, and becoming deeper inland. A fiord usually represents the seaward end of a deeply excavated glacial-trough valley that is partially submerged by drowning after the melting of the ice. Examples: along the glaciated coasts of Alaska, Greenland, and Norway. (b) Any embayment of the seacoast in a Scandinavian country regardless of the adjacent topography, as afjard in the low flat Swedish coast or aförde in eastern Denmark. Etymol: Norwegian. Cf: estuary; ria; sea loch. Var. spelling: fiord.

Polished dolomite

Glacial Caused folding of sediments

You can clearly see the folding caused in the sand. This may because the soils were semifrozen and maintained some of their "structural" integrity.

Glacial Scour

glacial scour[¦glā·shəl ′skau̇r] (geology) Erosion resulting from glacial action, whereby the surface material is removed and the rock fragments carried by the glacier abrade, scratch, and polish the bedrock. Also known as scouring." https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/glacial scour

Roche Moutonnee

Bull dozed by the Glaciers

Frost Cut Terrace

Ski Pole for scale

Ice Flow debris Limestone among the sandstone cliffs

Carried in by the annual Ice - this stone was moved up the bay on the ice pack, so technically not a "drop stone" the transport mechinism is the same.

Erratic

erratic (er-rat'-ic) n. A rock fragment carried by glacial ice, or by floating ice, deposited at some distance from the outcrop from which it was derived, and generally though not necessarily resting on bedrock of different lithology. Size ranges from a pebble to a house-size block See also: perched block; exotic Istruc geoll. Syn: erratic block; erratic boulder; glacial erratic. adj. Transported by a glacier from its place of origin. Syn: traveled. Glossary Of Geology Fifth Edition
