# A long, narrow, [[sinuous]] [[ridge]] created by deposits from a stream running beneath a [[glacier]].
#* {{quote-book|en|year=1988|author=Robert Phillip Sharp|title=Living Ice: Understanding Glaciers and Glaciation|url=https://books.google.com.au/books?id=xz47AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA149&dq=%22esker%22%7C%22eskers%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=F_I9VbCsPMXDmQXkx4CQBg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22esker%22%7C%22eskers%22&f=false|page=149|passage=Another unusual ice-contact feature is an '''esker''', a long, narrow, steep-sided ridge of glaciofluvial sand and gravel inhabiting a glaciated area. '''Eskers''' tend to follow valleys and lowlands, carefully picking a course between obstacles.}}
#* {{quote-book|en|year=1999|author=L. Clayton; J. W. Attig; D. M. Mickelson|chapter=Tunnel channels formed in Wisconsin during the last glaciation|editors=David M. Mickelson; John W.

|passage=Another objection to the tunnel-valley interpretation comes from a comparison with '''eskers'''.{{...}}The '''esker''' rivers and the tunnel-channel rivers of Wisconsin therefore seem to have been the result of significantly different meltwater regimes.}}
#* '''2001''', Allan D. Randall, ''Hydrogeologic Framework of Stratified-drift Aquifers in the Glaciated Northeastern United States'', US Geological Survey Paper 1415-B, [https://books.google.com.au/books?id=qpPohxczE0gC&pg=SL2-PA37&dq=%22esker%22%7C%22eskers%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=F_I9VbCsPMXDmQXkx4CQBg&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22esker%22%7C%22eskers%22&f=false page B37],
#*: The multiple deltas must have formed sequentially, which led Thompson (1982) to conclude that the '''eskers''' were built in successive segments.
