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?

Glaciers are not just found at pole they are also high up on mountains. In general the glaciers are always higher than the rivers, when glaciers partially melt they create rivers.
