Wenn der Frost einsetzt, geben arktische Gletscher weiterhin gespeicherte Schmelzwasser langsam ab, so dass sich bis zu zwei Meter dickes Aufeis bilden kann (Midre Lovénbreen, NW-Spitzbergen).

A common feature of High Arctic glaciers is the continued slow release of stored meltwater onto the braided river plain in front after the winter freeze has begun. As a result, thick masses of candle ice called Aufeis build up during the winter, often to a depth of two metres (Midtre Lovénbreen in NW Spitsbergen).
