Finding The Famous Glaciers
 Of The World

The famous glaciers of the earth are certainly some of nature's great wonders. Beautiful displays of ice built up over many years and covering 10% of the earth's land area.

They are made up of snow that accumulates over long periods of time. The weight of the snow eventually compresses into a large thickness of ice.

Glaciers can be as small as a few hundred yards long or very large measuring hundreds of miles in length. These ice fields can flow like rivers, but the movement is quite slow on land. They are also our biggest reservoirs of fresh water.
