Warming in summer, cooling in winter and gravity
A glacier forms under certain terrain conditions and where more snow falls in the winter than melts in the summer.
Glaciers are advancing and retreating all the time. During the summer most will be retreating, during the winter most will be advancing. Therefore the world is not in a 'glacial advance or retreat' because each glacier is independent.
Glaciers do not form in oceans. Glaciers form on land. Sometimes the flow onto ocean in the form of ice shelves or ice bergs, but they still formed on land. Closer to the equator, they only form on mountains. They form when one year's snow does not melt during the summer. When the next year's snow falls on that, the snow underneath turns to ice. Gradually, the ice builds up. The pressure on top can make the bottom layer melt. The earth's heat can make the bottom layer melt. Melt water from the top layer melting can make the bottom layer slide. The weight of the glacier can make the glacier move. A lot of glaciers are always in motion. During warmer weather they melt more. During colder weather, they advance. In the Arctic Ocean, the salt water freezes during winter. That creates a polar ice cap. It is not a glacier. Parts of it are frozen all the time. For a period of about 3,000 years some 1,200 years ago and 500 years 2,000 years ago, there was no polar ice cap in summer. It was not a glacier.

Mosquitos can be bothersome in summer. Bark beetles attack old forests.
Whitefish Montana is a beautiful town located in Flathead county. It is home to some of the best snow skiing in the country during the winter and many amazing tourist attractions during the summer including close proximity to Glacier National Park.
Glacier Bay National Park is located in Southeast Alaska, 50 miles by air from Juneau, Alaska. There are no roads to the Park. You fly by jet aircraft to Juneau from Seattle or Anchorage. There is also an Alaska Marine Highway ferry originating in Bellingham, Washington to Juneau. Once in Juneau, there are small 6 passenger air charters who fly daily year round to Gustavus by seatfare or charter. It is a 25 min flight and costs about $100. During the summer a private ferry operates 2x a week from Bartlett Cove in the National Park round trip to Auke Bay in Juneau during the late evening. An Alaska Airlines Jet, stopping in Juneau first and returning there, lands daily during a shortened summer schedule to Gustavus, Gateway to Glacier Bay.
Glaciers form in areas where more snow falls in winter than can melt during the summer.

During the summer months.

It is built when winter snows do not melt the following summer.
