A snowfield typically forms before a glacier. Snow accumulates on high-altitude areas, gradually turning into firn (a type of compacted snow). Over time, the firn transforms into glacial ice, leading to the development of a glacier.

What is the difference between a snowfield or glacier?

A snowfield is a large area covered with snow that lasts for less than a year, while a glacier is a slow-moving mass of ice that forms over many years and flows under its own weight. Glaciers are much larger and have the ability to reshape the landscape over time, while snowfields are temporary and do not flow like glaciers.
