⚙ Under the hood

A 2D cross-section of an alpine valley glacier driven by real physics: Glen's flow law for ice deformation and a genuine surface mass balance that accumulates snow above the equilibrium line and melts ice below it. Adjust temperature, snowfall and slope to watch the glacier advance or retreat over simulated centuries, with a live chart of glacier length.
