Glaciers are found in Green land

Alaska, and other parts of North America; in the Himalaya, Hindu Kush, Karakorum, and other mountains of Asia; in Africa, high up on Kilima-Njaro; in the Southern Alps of New Zealand; in the Andes of South America, and in Switzerland and Scand in a via. The glaciers of Green land are usually regarded as constituting a type distinct from the Alpine and the Norwegian. They are simply tongues of ice projected down the ice fiords to the coast from the immense expanse of ice which covers the whole interior of the country, and they travel at a much quicker rate than those of Europe. The two largest are the Jacobshavn glacier in Disko bay, which is 13 miles long and over.. miles in breadth at its end; and the Humboldt glacier at Smith sound, which is over 60 miles broad. Several of the many glaciers of Alaska are of immense size; notably the Male spin a glacier near Mount St. Elias, ‘‘a plateau of ice having an area of between 500 and GOO square miles,” and the Muir glacier on Glacier Bay, to the S. E. of the former with an area of about 350 square miles.
