They began forming about 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous. They were modified by glaciation during the ice ages, but are far older than 10000-12000 years. They are very old.

Glaciers can be found in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland, as well as in high-altitude mountainous areas around the world. Some examples include the glaciers in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, and Rocky Mountains.
Why is the potential loss of glaciation in the Alps a concern for Europe? Glaciers provide fresh drinking water Tourists visit the glaciers annually Source of hydro-power All of the above thr answer is all of the above
From what I've read recently, Glacier melt activity is happening all over/around the Earth; the Arctic Glaciers are receeding, the Antarctic Glaciers are receeding, the Glaciers in Glacier National Park in the US are almost gone, and the Glaciers in the Alps are receeding.
The Southern Alps because that's where most mountains are.
no one knows how old the alps are. it's yet to be discovered.
