The glacier is a polar region above which the snow cover remains throughout the year and the snow never completely melts is called a glacier. The snow-capped high mountain peaks from which the glacier originates is called the Ice Cap. Glaciers form from the snow that doesn't melt even during the summer. When enough snow builds up the weight of the snow will compress and turn into solid ice. It can take hundreds of years for a large glacier to form. Glaciers are categorized by their morphology, thermal characteristics, and behavior. Alpine glaciers form on the crests and slopes of mountains. A glacier that fills a valley is called a valley glacier, or alternatively an alpine glacier or mountain glacier. Let's know more about Glacier.
