Glacier are huge mass of moving ice .glaciers are formed on the high
mountains and on high latitudes .the reason fro forming on the high
altitude is, because the rate
of snowfall is much higher than the melting rate of snow on the hilly
and mountainous regions. There are four types of glaciers which are
alpine, piedmont, icecap and continental .they formed according to the
topography and climatic regions.
Icebergs are masses of fresh water ice or that's broken from glaciers or from the huge slab of permanent ice which floats on water, oceans or in lakes. The reason of ice floating is that it is less dense then the water. Iceberg can be so large. The largest iceberg ever observed was 335 kilometers long and 97 kilometers wide, which is the size of Belgium. They are of different sizes and shapes depending on the area of origin and their age. They exist in different forms as rounded, irregular and tabular in form. Icebergs were first known by mariners and explorer, sealer who hunted their prey in arctic and Antarctic water. From the beginning of 20th century now it's used as a plat form for scientific researchers
