The part of a glacier that is growing is typically the accumulation zone, where snowfall and ice accumulation exceed melting, sublimation, and calving. In contrast, the ablation zone is where the glacier is shrinking, as this area experiences greater melting and ice loss than accumulation. The balance between these two zones determines the overall health and movement of the glacier. Climate change often exacerbates the shrinking of the ablation zone, leading to accelerated glacier retreat.
