My teacher always said "Think of glaciers as literal rivers of ice" and that's stuck with me for 18 years lol

It blows my mind that the place where I grew up was once under 3000 feet of ice. There are all kinds of evidence of this everywhere in my town.

You did not come here voluntarily. Your teacher has sent you a link to this video for online school to study the topic of South America.
