GLOF stands for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods.
- An outburst flood that occurs when a dam which contains a glacial lake, fails is known as glacial lake outburst flood.
- Glacial lakes are commonly located in highly elevated glacierised basins.
- They are formed when glacial ice melts or natural depressions are filled with water.
- There are various such lakes, from the range of melted ice ponds on the surface of glaciers to large lakes in valleys with dams of glaciers.
- A Jökulhlaup is similar to a GLOF, where a water body containing a glacier melts or overflows the glacier.
- The dam may consist of glacial ice or a terminal moraine.
