The pressure is the density X height x acceleration due to gravity. In the metric system this would be about 915 kg/mmm x 1600 m x 9.8 m/ss = 14,347,200 Newtons/mm which is approximately 400,000 lbs per sqft.
The Harvard Glacier is a large tidewater glacier in the Alaska's Prince William Sound.The glacier has a 1.5-mile (2 km) wide face where it calves into the College Fjord. It is 300 ft thick and covers 120,000 acres of Chugach National Forest.The Harvard Glacier is the second largest glacier in the Prince William Sound, after the Columbia Glacier.It is a popular destination of cruise ships in the Prince William Sound.
The Lambert Glacier in Antarctica is 100 km wide, and about 400 km long.The Beardmore Glacier is 160 km long before it enters the Ross ice Shelf, and becomes indistinguishable from that, though it is still probably sitting on bed rock.Even bigger in area, are the various ice plateaus and ice shelves, but these are not moving fast enough to be considered glaciers.
The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Due to the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (more than half a mile) under the ocean.
The pressure 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 2,300 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases as you descend further into the ocean due to the weight of the water above.
Glaciers typically form over thousands of years as snow accumulates and compacts into ice. The exact time it takes for a glacier to form can vary depending on factors such as snowfall rates, temperature, and geographical location.

The total length of glacier feature labeled "a" is 1 mile.

Generally, atmospheric pressure is greatest at ground level, because you are at the bottom of the 25 mile thick atmosphere of earth. Greatest water pressure in a swimming pool is at the bottom, too. As you go up into the atmosphere, the pressure tends to decrease.
5 to 25 miles thick
Where is the world's longest glacier?The world's longest glacier is the Lambert-Fisher glacier at an icy 320 miles in length and a not-so-hot 25 miles in width.The Lambert-Fisher glacier is a speed demon as far as slow moving masses of ice go, moving over a half mile each year.The Lambert-Fisher Glacier located in Antarctica
Yes
The Earth's biosphere is the 13-mile thick layer where living organisms can exist. This includes the atmosphere, land, and oceans where life is present.
High and low pressure systems. 1 mile south could be a low pressure system which would have a different temperature than a mile north with a high pressure system. Thats just one variable though.
Yes, it happens hundreds of times every day. Meteorites, the rocks that survive falling through the atmosphere, litter the ground; in some places, they are all over. Antarctica, for example; when you find a rock sitting on top of a mile-thick glacier, we know it didn't pop up out of the ice!
It's made of ice.
