- 1冰隙、冰河裂縫（專指冰川上的深裂；石頭牆縫是 crevice）
A crevasse is a deep, open crack in thick ice, usually in a glacier on a mountain. The ice is slowly moving and tearing, and a split opens — sometimes so deep you cannot see the bottom, and often hidden under a thin roof of snow. treat crevasses as a real danger. The word came from French crevasse. Though actually, English has a close cousin, : a is a narrow crack in rock or in a wall, not in a glacier. People mix the two. Crevasse is the ice word; it sounds a little technical and outdoor, the kind of word you meet in mountain writing. You may also hear it used, more loosely, for a deep split in something else, but its home meaning is ice.
組成From French crevasse. Doublet of crevice.
