The most likely latitudes to see glaciers are maritimeareas north of 35˚N and south of 35˚S. This is because these regions are cooler than the lower latitudes and are within the westerly wind belt.
Being within the westerly wind belt means that areas close to the sea will see high precipitation that does not decrease above a certain altitude as convective rainfall in hotter latitudes does. This means that when a moist flow forms on a high enough mountain, it can generate enormous snowfall that even warm summer conditions cannot melt.
In continental regions north of 35˚N and south of 35˚S, snowfall is likely to be light even though the winters are much colder than in more maritime localities. This is because the westerly winds have a strong tendency to dry out when they are forced to descend from a mountain range, as seen in the heavily glaciated Wet Andes, Southern Alps, Olympics, Cascades and Prokletije. The result is that areas leeward of those ranges, even though located in an unstable weather belt of changing frontal systems, are far from humid as the air is subsiding. Under these conditions, no matter how cold it is there is often not enough snowfall to form glaciers, especially as further inland summers can be hotter with more melting.
Between 35˚N and 35˚S (the Tropical and Unenriched Worlds plus a few of the hottest parts of the Enriched) glaciers are confined to a few very high and young mountains, almost exclusively the Himalayas and Andes. Even there they are restricted by the tendency of precipitation to decrease above around 2,500 metres (8,200 feet) because of the low effectiveness of convective rainfall in cool temperatures. In the desert belts between 19˚ and 27˚ from the equator, no glaciers exist anywhere in the world, not even in the Andes.

Where can you go see the glaciers in Alaska?
In the air!
Where is most of the exposed rock in Antarctica?
You can see exposed rock in the nunataks -- where the mountain peaks poke out from the glaciers, and on the beach when it is not covered by ice.
What is famous in Greenland And how do they do it?
Looking at glaciers, walking on glaciers, going to ski resorts, see icebergs, going fishing, and lots more
What erosional features do you see in a valley glaciers?
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.

Which latitudes on Earth sometimes see the Moon directly overhead but never the Sun directly overhead?
That would be true of latitudes in the range of roughly 23.5° to 29° both north and south.
Why it is hard to see glacial erosion in action?
Because glaciers move very, very slowly.
How many months of the year is the Arctic covered in snow?
Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.
Why are the stars different in the southern hemisphere?
From the ground you see a different area of the universe - the Earth is round, and from different latitudes in north and south you see a different perspective.
Can you see Auroras everywhere?
The aurorae are best visible from the Arctic and Antarctic Circles - and/or locations close to them. It's very rare to see the aurorae near the equator or latitudes as far south(or north) as say, Los Angeles.
