A glacier forms when snow accumulates over time, turns to ice, and begins to flow outwards and downwards under the pressure of its own weight.

Answer:
Glaciers begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice. Over time, larger ice crystals become so compressed that any air pockets between them are very tiny. In very old glacier ice, crystals can reach several inches in length.
