THE CYBER CENTER The Cyber-EncyclopediaGlacierA glacier is a large, slow-moving river of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow that slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity and high pressure. The process of glacier growth and establishment is called glaciation. The word glacier comes from French via the Vulgar Latin glacia, and ultimately from Latin glacies meaning ice.
