The video explains that snow is frozen water, which melts as the weather warms. In some regions, snow compresses into glaciers, which are large masses of moving ice and snow. Valley glaciers form in high mountain valleys, while continental glaciers, found at the poles, are vast and can be over 4 kilometers thick, holding large amounts of frozen fresh water.
