Outflow of a major river.
Reason: river outflows create visible surface plumes of sediment‑laden, lower‑density freshwater extending into the ocean (often a different color on maps/satellite images). Rapidly melting glaciers are found near ice sheets and would not produce a long surface plume like that; high‑density surface water would sink rather than remain at the surface; and extremely cold temperatures are unlikely where a warm, sediment‑rich river plume is visible.
