Just a hypothetical that caught my interest; What would happen if a river coming down, say, a mountain, traveled far enough to one of the poles that it hits a glacier? Would its momentum just disperse and turn into a pond until the water finds somewhere else to go? Would the water carve into the glacier, like those pictures of ice tunnels you can find on google?

yo that’s a cool thought. the river would probably slow down and create some meltwater pools. but it won’t just be a pond. water could carve some neat tunnels too but glaciers are tough. nature’s a boss with that stuff.
