Snow falls on the mountains and it builds up there. When the weight becomes too heavy it begins to flow down the mountain like a river. They don't flow in any specific direction.
Yes, glaciers form from the hydrosphere through the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years. As snow accumulates, it compresses into ice, eventually forming glaciers.
Icebergs can come from both the North and South poles. Generally, icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere come from Arctic glaciers, while those in the Southern Hemisphere come from Antarctic glaciers.

glaciers are very big
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers

There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
there are no glaciers in Ireland
