antartica

Glaciers are tons of snow that start to move out and down because they are so heavy.
They cover over 10% of the earth.
They erode the ground beneath them.
75% of the world's fresh water is frozen into glacier water!
Glaciers originate on land from snowfall that doesn't me in the summer after several years!

The Antarctic ice sheet is losing as much as 36 cubic miles of ice a year.
The continent holds 90 percent of the world's ice, and the disappearance of even its smaller West Antarctic ice sheet could raise worldwide sea levels by an estimated 20 feet.
