Here is your answer,

===============================================

In polar and high-altitude alpine regions, glaciers generally accumulate more snow in the winter than they lose in the summer from melting, evaporation, or calving.

If the accumulated snow survives one melt season, it forms a denser, more compressed layer called firn.

The glacier is so heavy and exerts so much pressure that the firn and snow melt without any increase in temperature.

The meltwater makes the bottom of the heavy glacier slicker and more able to spread across the landscape.

Some glaciers, called hanging glaciers, don't flow the entire length of a mountain.

==================================================

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)

AND STAY BLESSED.

Answer:it is due to the highest latent heat of fusion.

Explanation:1 kg solid requires 336000 Joule heat so glacier requires lot of heat to melt completely.That's why it doesn't melt at the whole
