What are Glaciers?

A Glacier can be simply defined as a large mass of ice that forms on land and shows a slow and significant movement. Glaciers are fallen snow compressed into a large, thick mass of ice over a period of many years. Some glaciers can be as small as football fields while others can be over 100 kilometers long.
