Every contanent has a Glacier. Many people refer to Australa being a contanent when really Australasia is the contanent. If you dont consider Australia to be the main Contanent of Australiasia then there are most defanetly glaciers, inNew Zeland there are several glaciers. If you consider Australia to be the main contanent of Australasia it doesent matter because there is acctually a glacier in Australia. The glacier is in the Kosciusko National Park and sits near a lake called the blue lake. The lake is formed from the melting water from the glacier.
Today, ice glaciers are found on all continents of the world except Australia. Even Africa has ice glaciers on it.
Australia is the continent without glaciers.
Glaciers first appeared on the continent of Antarctica. The oldest known glaciers on Antarctica have been dated to around 30 to 35 million years ago.
They form a huge mass that covers the entire continent?
Glaciers are generally not found in regions close to the equator where temperatures are consistently high. Additionally, glaciers are limited in desert areas with very low levels of precipitation. Areas with very low temperatures and limited snowfall may also not have glaciers.
Two kinds of glaciers are valley glaciers and ice sheets. Valley glaciers are long, narrow glaciers that form in mountain valleys, while ice sheets are vast, continent-sized glaciers that cover large land areas. The main difference is in their size and location, with valley glaciers typically being smaller and found in mountainous regions, while ice sheets are much larger and exist in polar regions.

No, glaciers are found on mountains on every continent on earth, including Antarctica.
Australia is the only continent that does not have any glaciers.
Not every continent has glaciers. Glaciers are found predominantly in Antarctica, the Arctic, North America, and Europe. Other continents like Africa, Australia, and South America have limited or no glaciers due to their warmer climates.
africa Actually, all of them.
Australia has no continental glaciers, because the mountains do not receive sufficient snowfall to form them (at least not in the present era).
Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet. The mountainous terrain of the continent means that there are thousands of glaciers on the continent. "Near Antarctica' is the Southern Ocean, which may be home to icebergs calved off continental glaciers. Rather than 'famous glaciers', Antarctica is home to ice shelves, the most famous, perhaps, being the Ross Ice Shelf, which is about as large as France.
