Under a glacier.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0glacier<\/b>\u00a0(US<\/a>:\u00a0<\/small>\/\u02c8<\/span>\u0261<\/span>l<\/span>e\u026a<\/span>\u0283<\/span>\u0259r<\/span>\/<\/a><\/span><\/span>;\u00a0UK<\/a>:\u00a0<\/small>\/\u02c8<\/span>\u0261<\/span>l<\/span>\u00e6<\/span>s<\/span>i<\/span>\u0259r<\/span>,\u02c8<\/span>\u0261<\/span>l<\/span>e\u026a<\/span>s<\/span>i<\/span>\u0259r<\/span>\/<\/a><\/span><\/span>) is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight. A glacier forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its\u00a0ablation<\/a>\u00a0over many years, often\u00a0centuries<\/a>. It acquires distinguishing features, such as\u00a0crevasses<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0seracs<\/a>, as it slowly flows and deforms under stresses induced by its weight. As it moves, it abrades rock and debris from its substrate to create landforms such as\u00a0cirques<\/a>,\u00a0moraines<\/a>, or\u00a0fjords<\/a>. Although a glacier may flow into a body of water, it forms only on land and is distinct from the much thinner\u00a0sea ice<\/a>\u00a0and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah. Glaciers are not snow, but ice<\/em>. How did his balloon end up under a glacier? Either mischievous goblins, or glaciers, at least small glaciers, can form really fast.<\/p>\n
