There are two main types of Glaciers-Alpine Glaciers which are found in the mountain terrains, and Continental Glaciers-which can cover larger areas.
The smallest Alpine Glaciers form in mountain valleys and are known as Vally Glaciers. Larger Glaciers can cover the entire mountain, mountain chain or even a volcano. this type in known as an ice cap.
The largest glaciers are Continental Glaciers. Antarctica and Greenland are the only place where these glaciers currently exist. These regins contain vast amounts of fresh water.
