Glacier Quick Facts | National Snow and Ice Data Center The largest glacier, by area, is the Seller Glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula, measuring over 7,000 square kilometers (2,700 square miles) The largest ice crystals that make up a glacier can be as large as apples However, there are many other ice masses on Earth that are much larger than the largest glacier
Glaciers - National Snow and Ice Data Center What is a glacier? A glacier is an accumulation of ice and snow that slowly flows over land At higher elevations, more snow typically falls than melts, adding to its mass Eventually, the surplus of built-up ice begins to flow downhill At lower elevations, there is usually a higher rate of melt or icebergs break off that removes ice mass
Science of Glaciers - National Snow and Ice Data Center The Taylor Glacier is an Antarctic glacier about 54 kilometers (34 miles) long, flowing from the plateau of Victoria Land into the western end of Taylor Valley — Credit: Eli Duke Flickr Valley commonly originate from mountain glaciers or icefields, these glaciers spill down valleys, looking much like giant tongues
Why Glaciers Matter - National Snow and Ice Data Center Glacier melt delivers nutrients into lakes, rivers, and oceans Those nutrients can drive blooms of phytoplankton—the base of aquatic and marine food chains Meanwhile, gradual glacier melt sustains stream habitats for plants and animals So, glaciers often have an indirect impact on wildlife and fisheries
Ice Sheets Today | National Snow and Ice Data Center A moderately intense melt season for the Greenland Ice Sheet has continued in July, with an extended period of high temperatures and coastal melting in mid-July where nearly half of the ice sheet experienced melt Water carves into the Greenland Ice Sheet, exposing layers of dust At the edge of the
Sea Ice Today - National Snow and Ice Data Center Arctic sea ice extent tracked at near-record low levels through much of June, hitting daily record low levels from June 20 to 26 Antarctic sea ice averaged third lowest for the month of June There have been unrecoverable gaps in delivered sea ice data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite
Randolph Glacier Inventory - A Dataset of Global Glacier Outlines . . . The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) is a global set of glacier outlines; it is intended as a snapshot of the world’s glaciers This data set provides a single outline for each glacier and is produced in coordination with the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) initiative
Ice Sheet Quick Facts | National Snow and Ice Data Center Is an ice sheet different from a glacier? Ice sheets are much larger than glaciers An ice sheet is a mass of glacial land ice, extending more than 50,000 square kilometers (20,000 square miles) Ice sheets can cover underlying canyons and mountain ranges During the last ice age, ice sheets also covered much of North America and Scandinavia
Learn - National Snow and Ice Data Center Quick facts, basic science, and information about snow, ice, and why the cryosphere matters The cryosphere includes all of the snow and ice-covered regions across the planet
World Glacier Inventory - NSIDC The World Glacier Inventory (WGI) contains information for over 130,000 glaciers Inventory parameters include geographic location, area, length, orientation, elevation, and classification The WGI is based primarily on aerial photographs and maps with most glaciers having one data entry only Hence
