An active rock glacier, Wavbal Pass, Jammu and Kashmir Himalaya, India
TLDR
A currently active rock glacier with a snout elevation of 4055 m was observed in the Jammu and Kashmir Himalaya as discussed by the authors, its formation is ascribed to stagnation of the terminal area of a true glacier.Abstract:

Rock glaciers : II models and mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the mechanisms of rock glacier formation and flow is presented, where the presence of a copious debris supply is important in all models, although the source of ice necessary for glacier formation is not considered.

Climatic Zonality of Periglacial Landforms in Mountain Areas
TL;DR: The alpine periglacial areas of the world can be divided into three distinctive landscape types dominated by one of the following: active rock glaciers, active block streams, or gelifluction landforms as discussed by the authors.

On the development of transverse ridges on rock glaciers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the stability of a low Reynolds number flow on an inclined plane with respect to modelling the initiation of transverse wave-like ridges which commonly occur on the surfaces of rock-glacier forms.
