Glaciers
Glaciers are massive bodies of slowly moving ice. Glaciers form on land, and they are made up of fallen snow that gets compressed into ice over many centuries. They move slowly downward from the pull of gravity. Most of the world’s glaciers exist in the polar regions, in areas like Greenland, the Canadian Arctic, New Zealand, and Antarctica. When they melt huge chunks of ice come plumenting off the massive glacier and into the water below, creating splashes going metres high.
Did you know glaciers a very dense bodies of water making them very dangerous if the fall from melting. They are in many countries and some people even go sight-seeing just to see them up close.
More than 12,000 have been killed by falling glaciers
