A valley or outlet glacier exhibiting a lobe- or fan-shaped section (“piedmont lobe”) immediately beyond the confining valley mouth, where the ice tongue emanates onto an unconstrained, lower slope angle terrain (Stroeven 2013). Valley glaciers may coalesce to form large, multilobate piedmont glaciers.
