❄️The Secret Life of Glaciers | World Water Day 2025💧 Did you know glaciers hold 70% of the world’s fresh water? These icy giants form over centuries as layers of snow compress into solid ice. From towering mountain glaciers to massive ice sheets, glaciers come in many forms and are found across the globe. Glaciers aren’t just frozen landscapes—they are constantly moving, shaping valleys, feeding rivers, and providing drinking water to millions. But as temperatures rise, they are melting faster than they can replenish, leading to retreat and a significant impact on global water supplies. Their future is uncertain. As climate change accelerates glacier loss, it’s more important than ever to understand their role in our planet’s water system. Take the opportunity to learn more about glaciers and their importance for our water resources this #WorldWaterDay (22 March)! Understanding these frozen giants is key to protecting our water future. #WorldWaterDay #Glaciers2025
