A glacier is a year-round mass of ice that originates on land. Its area is usually larger than ~100 square feet (one tenth of a square kilometer). Many experts believe that a glacier must show some type of movement; others believe that a glacier can show evidence of past movement. Glaciers appear on every continent except Australia (although glaciers were present there during the last Ice Age).
