Hi Well, the only similarity is that they are both made of water. A glacier is a huge lump of water ice and nothing more. If a glacier melted fast enough it would become a river, although, as has tragically happened in South America, a glacier that is melted super-fast by being in the path of an exploding volcano turns into a river of mud and debris roaring into villages at 100mph, with the expected devastation.

Yes, glaciers can create both rivers and lakes. When glaciers melt, they release water that can flow into rivers or accumulate in depressions to form lakes. This often occurs as part of the glacial melting process in areas where glaciers are present.
Water in its various forms - liquid in rivers, ponds, and streams; solid in glaciers and icebergs.
If mountain glaciers disappear there will be no source for many mountain streams, which will then dry up. Many rivers will be reduced in size as a result.
i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
In the future, glaciers are expected to continue melting due to global warming. This will result in rising sea levels, changes in freshwater availability, and environmental impacts on ecosystems that rely on glaciers for water supply. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are critical to help slow down glacier melting.

There are no 'rivers' in Antarctica, unless you consider glaciers as flowing rivers of ice. You can review the lists, below, and identify the longest glaciers in Antarctica.
Glaciers can because of their frozen state.

Are called 'glaciers'.
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.

There are no rivers in Antarctica, it is covered in ice. There are a few glaciers.
