Periglacial vs. Proglacial

How does a periglacial lake differ from a proglacial lake? This article says:

A periglacial lake is one formed where the natural drainage of the topography is obstructed by an ice sheet, ice cap or glacier.

Proglacial lake says:

In geology, a proglacial lake is a lake formed either by the damming action of a moraine or ice dam during the retreat of a melting glacier, or one formed by meltwater trapped against an ice sheet due to isostatic depression of the crust around the ice.

There appears to be some overlap. Is one a subset of the other? Should the articles be merged? Kablammo (talk) 15:49, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Periglaciation

I recommend that this content be moved to a new page, Periglaciation, with a pointer from Periglacial. It seems more important to have articles be about nouns, not adjectives! User:HopsonRoad 21:52, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image of Mt Kenya blockfield

The main feature in this image appears to me eye to be desiccated mud polygons though boulders are clearly present too. It might want further clarifying description. Geopersona (talk) 10:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
