In general, a glacier is formed and maintained by a cycle of snow falling at high altitudes, melt occurring at lower altitudes and or discharge into the sea. Glaciers are particularly susceptible to climate change and are therefore important indicators of global climate - as the temperature warms, glaciers retreat - unless the amount of snow increases to make up for the additional melt.
