a mass of ice that originates on land, usually having an area larger than one tenth of a square kilometer; many believe that a glacier must show some type of movement; others believe that a glacier can show evidence of past or present movement.

A mass of land ice that is formed by the cumulative recrystallization of firn. A glacier flows slowly (at present or in the past) from an accumulation area to an ablation area. Some well-known glaciers are: the Zermatt, Stechelberg, Grindelwald, Trient, Les Diablerets, and Rhone in Switzerland; the Nigards, Gaupne, Fanarak, Lom, and Bover in Norway...

A large mass of freshwater ice originally of atmospheric origin that forms on land over many years. There are two main types of glacier: mountain glaciers which form at altitude among mountain peaks and valleys; and continental glaciers, which form over continents at high latitude. Glaciers formed over much of the high latitudes of continents durin...

A mass of ice and snow which can deform and flow under its own weight. A 'river' of ice that flows down valleys towards the sea. In Britain glaciers formed during the last Ice Ages and caused erosion in upland areas (forming the typical U-shaped profile of valleys). The eroded rock debris was dumped when the ice melted to form moraine.
