A glacier is a massive, slow-moving body of ice formed from accumulated snowfall that compresses into dense ice over time. Glaciers are powerful agents of erosion and play a key role in shaping landscapes, storing freshwater, and influencing global sea levels. Found in polar regions and high mountain ranges, glaciers respond sensitively to changes in temperature and precipitation, making them vital indicators of climate change. Scientists study glaciers to understand past and present climate dynamics, monitor rising sea levels, and assess freshwater availability for communities that depend on glacial melt. As global temperatures rise, the retreat of glaciers has become both a visible and urgent symbol of environmental change.
