As a guess, about a foot. Some glaciers that are closer to being flat may move less than that. Some glaciers that are steeper naturally move faster.

There is a glacier in the bay near Tierro del Fuego (just north of Antarctica) that is moving many yards in a year, or more. This is the result of it being more cold at the glacier's top resulting in more ice buildup from rain/snow.

Glaciers move very slowly as the ice in front of the glacier melts. Glaciers can move at about 0.3 miles per hour at their fastest speed.

Under the glacier the ice is cracking and melting and then ice (glacier) floats away and might freeze on other glaciers that are not floating and are stuck
