It may appear dirty near the end due to debris that it is carrying or pushing. • Glaciers can be massive in size stretching across continents, or may be small sitting on top of mountains.

  3. How are Glaciers formed, and where they are formed • <<<They form in the cold polar regions and in high mountains. • A glacier forms as layers of snow build up. The weight of the snow packs together the bottom layers and forms ice. • Glaciers can also form Ice caves which are really beautiful>>>>>> • Glaciers are formed mainly in areas of high altitude or high latitude. Mostly upland areas.
