    The document is about glaciers and provides information to fill in blanks about glaciers, including what they are made of, where they are found, how they are formed, their importance, and potential impacts of climate change. It defines a glacier as a large area of ice that stays frozen over many years and flows over land like a river. Glaciers are found in places like Antarctica and contain smaller glaciers in locations like mountains. They are formed from snow not melting completely and piling up under pressure to form ice. Glaciers are important because they hold most of the fresh water in the world and melting rapidly due to climate change could cause sea level rise.
