Class: Glacier

A glacier is a large, long-lasting river of ice that is formed on land and moves in response to gravity. A glacier is formed by the multi-year accretion of ice in mountainous or sloping terrain. Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, and second only to the oceans as the largest reservoir of total water. Glaciers can be found on every continent except Australia.
