What glaciers are now located only on polar regions?
Glaciers that are now only located in polar regions include the Greenland Ice Sheet in the Arctic and glaciers in Antarctica. These ice formations are subject to melting and disintegration due to climate change, which poses a threat to sea levels and ecosystems worldwide.
Where are most glaciers located?

Would you expect to find large glaciers on all these landmasses today?
No, not all landmasses have large glaciers today. Glaciers require specific conditions such as cold temperatures, sufficient precipitation, and high elevations to form and persist. Therefore, you would expect to find large glaciers in regions that meet these criteria, such as polar regions and high mountain ranges.
