About the Book

Glaciers are massive bodies of ice that move under their own weight. They form when snow accumulates faster than ablation, and this process continues over years and centuries. It's fascinating to see the incredible amount of ice accumulated by the end of the last ice age. Learn about the glaciers in the world and how they affect our environment today. The following are some Glaciers Facts. You'll want to know them all! Glaciers have a huge impact on the landscape of the northern U.S. A single trillion-ton ice cube can change the landscape. This massive iceberg has carved out many lakes, and the entire landscape is affected by its movements. Greenland has a massive icecap and is almost covered with ice. In fact, a single ice crystal in a glacier can be the size of a baseball. While we're learning about glaciers' natural history, we're also learning about their complicated processes. As snowfall exceeds the rate of melt, glaciers begin to grow and icebergs break off. However, they must balance out their income and outgo in order to survive. If the mass balance is positive, the glacier is growing, while if it is negative, the glacier is shrinking. We'll get to see the incredible work of nature's natural engineers soon! The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is nearly 2.5 kilometers below sea level. The weight of the ice forces the land down, which is why the south of the United Kingdom has slowly risen since the last ice age. The melting ice has loosened the weight on the land. Almost one hundred thousand glaciers can be found in Alaska, where the Bering Glacier is the largest in North America at 204 km. If all land ice was destroyed, sea levels would rise by over 230 feet.
