How are glaciers formed and where are they found?

Transcript

Glaciers are formed when snow accumulates over many years, compressing into ice as additional layers fall on top. This process is known as firnification, which transitions lightweight snow into dense glacial ice. Glaciers can be found in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland, as well as high mountain areas on every continent except Australia. Examples include the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps.
