5 Unusual Facts About Glaciers

Unusual Facts About Glaciers - as part of the travel series by GeoBeats. I'd like to share with you 5 uncommon facts about glaciers. Glaciers cover about one-tenth of the entire planet, but they account for about three-quarters of all the freshwater. All but about one percent of glacier ice is found in either the Arctic or the Antarctic. In some places of the Antarctic, the solid ground has been pushed down by up to a mile below sea level by the weight of the ice. If all the ice-bound land in the world were to melt at one time, the oceans would rise by approximately seventy feet. Glaciers are typically very slow, but the Kutiah Glacier once moved at about 112 meters per day for three months.
