What is a frozen river called?

Question

i need to know what it is called

Answer 1

A Glacier

Answer 2

One option would be a glacier.

But if you are talking about a river that normally flows as liquid water, it is just called a frozen river. Even though a frozen river usually has some free-flowing water under the ice.

Answer 3

A river that is normally liquid but has frozen in winter is called a frozen river.

A river of ice that is frozen all the time and slowly moves down the side of a mountain is called a glacier.

Joan....

Answer 5

do you mean a glacier? A glacier is a river of ice but is formed by built up layers of ice and snow starting to move downhill rather than being a river that has frozen.

A normal river that's been frozen still gets called by its own name - e.g The River Thames used to freeze at London in the 17th century. Rivers in North America freeze too.
