Franz Joseph glacier. Close-up of crevasses in the surface of the Upper Franz Joseph glacier,New Zealand. Crevasses form in glaciers as the ice cracks when the glacier moves. The stresses put on the ice as it flows down the mountain cause cracks like these to appear and disappear over time. Some crevasses can be extremely deep.
