We analysed ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds on 14 glaciers (2000–2015). Ice cliffs predominantly had north-facing aspects, independent of glacier flow direction. Ice cliff density was positively correlated with surface lowering. Ice cliff density peaked within zones of active ice flow. 49% of ice cliffs featured an adjacent supraglacial pond.
