I know many of us have been fed up with winter – the snow, the sleet, the shivering. But the sheer natural beauty of these eye-popping glacier formations will definitely warm your heart.
A glacier is a large persistent body of ice. They are formed over many years, most would even take centuries. Glaciers form only on land and should not be confused with icebergs which are huge bodies of ice that float on water. Glaciers and icebergs together hold most of Earth’s fresh waters.
