Vatnajökull Glacier is an ice cap glacier located in Iceland. It is the largest glacier in Europe by volume and covers an area of around 8,100 square kilometers. Vatnajökull is a temperate glacier, meaning it has a mixture of ice at its base and can flow due to meltwater lubricating its movement.
What kind of machine could you compare a glacier to ? You can compare it to a freezer.Because glacier is ice and a freezer makes ice.
These long smooth hills are known as drumlins, which are created by the movement of glaciers during the process of glaciation. As a glacier advances, it reshapes the landscape by depositing and sculpting materials, forming these distinctive elongated landforms. Drumlins are typically found in regions that were once covered by ice sheets during the last Ice Age.
U-shaped valleys, moraines, cirques, and hanging valleys are typical landforms that indicate the prior existence of a valley glacier. Additionally, striations (scratches left on bedrock), glacial till, and erratic rocks deposited in the area are also signs of past glacial activity.
Mechanical weathering is caused by the natural forces of wind, water, and temperature. These forces physically break down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. Examples include freeze-thaw weathering, abrasion, and exfoliation.

Icebergs that break off the Antarctic ice sheet are composed of fresh water.
When glaciers reach a water source, such as a river, lake or ocean, icebergs break off in a process called calving.

An egg will break if you sit on it or if some kind of force acts upon it...an egg will not just spontaneously break into pieces.
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
