John Glacier

John Glacier is a substantial ice formation located in Antarctica, characterized by its slow movement of ice mass over land. As a glacier, it forms from accumulated snowfall compressing into ice, gradually flowing due to gravity. It plays a crucial role in the Antarctic ecosystem and global climate system by storing large amounts of freshwater and influencing sea levels. Researchers study glaciers like John Glacier to understand climate change impacts, as their size and movement can indicate shifts in temperature and environmental conditions over time.
