A moulin or glacier mill is a narrow, tubular chute.Moulins can go all the way to the bottom of the glacier and can be hundreds of meters deep.
Moulins are a part of a glacier's internal "plumbing" system, to carry meltwater out to wherever it may go.
We abseiled down on of them on the Mer de Glace the other day with Jesper as the running water system is now stopped by freezing temperatures: just an amazing experience in the heart of the longest glacier of the french Alps.
