mannerjäätikön
Mannerjäätikön refers to an ice sheet, a vast expanse of glacial ice covering a landmass. These massive formations are characterized by their immense size, often stretching over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Mannerjäätikön are dynamic entities, constantly flowing under their own weight and influencing the surrounding topography and climate. They are primarily found in polar regions, with the two largest currently being the Antarctic ice sheet and the Greenland ice sheet.
The formation of a mannerjäätikön begins with the accumulation of snow over many years. As more snow
Mannerjäätikön play a critical role in Earth's climate system. They reflect a significant amount of solar radiation
