Maple Grove, MN -- (SBWire) -- 08/26/2015 --Found in the arctic and polar regions, a glacier is formed by an accumulation of snow and ice that is more than the loss of snow from melting and evaporation. Pressure that is generated at the bottom of the glacier is very high for ice to melt even in cold temperatures. This allows glacier to move slowly downhill.

Elaborating more about the glacier landforms, one of the representatives of the company stated, "A glacier may fill a single valley. To have the characteristics and movement of a glacier, it generally needs to be at least 160 feet in depth. Some glaciers reach a depth of over 2000 feet. The largest glacial ice sheet in the world is the permanent ice sheet that covers almost the entire continent of Antarctica with a depth of up to 3 miles. A similar ice sheet covers Greenland. The characteristics of an ice sheet are different from glaciers that move down a mountainside. The largest moving glacier in the world is Lambert Glacier in eastern Antarctica. It is 250 miles long, 60 miles wide and up to 8000 feet deep."
