Are there any famous glaciers near Antarctica?

Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet. The mountainous terrain of the continent means that there are thousands of glaciers on the continent. "Near Antarctica' is the Southern Ocean, which may be home to icebergs calved off continental glaciers. Rather than 'famous glaciers', Antarctica is home to ice shelves, the most famous, perhaps, being the Ross Ice Shelf, which is about as large as France.

How is it possible for ice to flow?

Ice can flow due to the pressure exerted on it by its own weight, which causes the ice crystals to deform and slide past each other. This flow of ice is known as glacial flow and is a characteristic feature of glaciers and ice sheets. Over time, the ice can move downhill in response to gravity, forming glaciers that shape the landscape.
