Answer:
Glaciers store about 69 percent of the world's fresh water.
During the maximum point of the last ice age, glaciers covered about 32 percent of the total land area.
Starting around the early 14th century, and lasting to the mid-19th century, the world experienced a “Little Ice Age,” when temperatures were consistently cool enough for glaciers to advance in many areas of the world.
In the United States, glaciers cover over 90,000 square kilometers (35,000 square miles). Most of those glaciers are located in Alaska, which holds 87,000 square kilometers (34,000 square miles) of glacial ice.
If all land ice melted, sea level would rise approximately 70 meters (230 feet) worldwide.
Glacier ice crystals can grow to be as large as baseballs.
