I Koan! I love it!
A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.

Glaciers or moving, shifting and melting constantly. The worst that could happen is if too meltwater was created by the melting glacier it would cause a flood downstream.
A sound is forged by the movement of a glacier.

She gave me her glacier eyes, so I left. The glacier is melting.
It very well can be however, if memory serves, Alpine glaciers can also melt slowly. it just depends the the conditions where the glacier is located. This may sound weird, however remember that a glacier is not necessarily one you find floating is water. A glacier can be and is categorized as a bit placement - amount - of ice in a certain sport. Hope this helps. Ciiara

it starts from melting of glacier
A glacier is not a calamity, but a melting glacier in Antarctica, causing the sea level to rise, could become a calamity.
A glacier is always moving forward (downhill). In the winter, the glacier usually isn't melting and its front edge (or "toe") will advance downhill. In the summer, the toe of the glacier usually melts faster than the glacier is moving forward, causing the front edge of the glacier to recede. If the recession in the summer is greater than the advance in the winter, then the glacier as a whole is receding and will eventually disappear. That is what is currently happening to most of the glaciers in North America and many other places around the world.

A glacier is melting slowly away as it shrinks. Some may appear to be moving backwards, but they are actually melting from all sides at once.
The largest glacier in New Zealand is the Tasman Glacier on the South Island, recently in the news because it is melting rapidly.
