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?

dude that’s a cool question. i think the glacier would probably just chill there and the water would spread out a bit. but yeah over time it could carve into the ice like those tunnels. nature is wild like that. super interesting how rivers and glaciers interact for sure
