Glaciers are pretty important yo humans as they are one of the fresh water sources. But at the same time glaciers are dangerous when they are floating in a sea because it can sink ship after all a glacier might be small at a distance but you will come to know about it's length as you go closer.

I hope it helps

Answer:

Glaciers provide drinking water

People living in arid climates near mountains often rely on glacial melt for their water for part of the year. ... Demand for glacier water has increased in other, perhaps less expected ways, too.

The steady melt of glacial ice around the world is largely due to man-made factors, such as greenhouse-gas emissions and aerosols, a new study finds. Humans have caused roughly a quarter of the globe's glacial loss between 1851 and 2010, and about 69 percent of glacial melting between 1991 and 2010, the study suggests.

Glaciers provide people with many useful resources. Glacial till provides fertile soil for growing crops. ... The most important resource provided by glaciers is freshwater. Many rivers are fed by the melting ice of glaciers.
