A glacial ridge could be defined as several things:
- An arête: a steep-sided ridge between two valleys that were formed by glaciers.
- corries: formed through glacier action.
- eskir/esker: a ridge of sand and gravel deposited by glacial movement.
- drumlin: an elongated hill caused by the streamlined movement of glacial ice sheets across rock-strewn lowlands.

A mountain ridge that separates the heads of opposing glacial valleys is called an arete. It is a narrow and sharp ridge formed by the erosive action of glaciers on both sides.
The area of Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge is 78.509 square kilometers.
The Apurímac River rises from glacial meltwater of the ridge of Nevado Mismi, in southern Peru.

These sharp ridges are called aretes and form when glacial erosion carves out valleys on either side of the ridge. As glaciers move down the valleys, they erode the rock on both sides, sharpening the ridge. Aretes are a common feature in glaciated regions like the Alps or Himalayas.
