ЩО GLACIER ОЗНАЧАЄ У АНГЛІЙСЬКА?
Льодовик
Льодовик - стійке тіло щільного льоду, який постійно рухається під власною вагою; це утворюється там, де накопичення снігу перевищує його абляцію протягом багатьох років, часто століть. Льодовики повільно деформуються і течуть через напруги, викликані їх вагою, створюючи зарості, сироватки та інші відмітні риси. Вони також руйнують скелю та сміття з їх підкладки, щоб створювати такі форми рельєфу, як цирки та морени. Льодовики утворюються лише на суші і відрізняються від набагато тоншого морського льоду та озерного льоду, що утворюються на поверхні водоймищ. На Землі 99% льодовикового льоду містяться в великих льодовикових шарах у полярних областях, але льодовики можуть бути знайдені в гірських хребтах на всіх континентах, за винятком Австралії та на кількох високоширотних океанічних островах. Між 35 ° та 35 ° с.ш. льодовики зустрічаються лише в Гімалаях, Андах, Скелястих горах, в декількох високих горах у Східній Африці, Мексиці, Нової Гвінеї та на Зард Кух в Ірані. Льодовиковий лід є найбільшим резервуаром прісних вод на Землі.
Визначення glacier у англійська словнику
Визначення льодовика в словнику - це повільно рухома маса льоду, що виникає внаслідок накопичення снігу. Він може або розподілятися з центральної маси або спуститися з високої долини.

The 'New Yorker' asked me to shoot a story on climate change in 2005, and I wound up going to Iceland to shoot a glacier. The real story wasn't the beautiful white top. It ended up being at the terminus of the glacier where it's dying.

I haven't been to Tasmania. I haven't been to the South Pole, and I haven't been to the North Pole. I want to see the polar bear migration before there are no polar bears. I want to see glacier National Park before the glacier melts.
