Glaciers Grow Mountain Peaks

An Austrian study of some 16,000 peaks has suggested that glacial erosion makes mountains taller and more 'skinny' (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/may/05/terrawatch-glacial-erosion-creates-higher-mountains). It appears to be the case that mountains tend to be higher in higher latitudes where glacial activity is greatest. The trimming effects of the ice appear to mean that the mountain's peaks can be higher as the load on the base is reduced.
