On the slopes of a mountain, the snowflake lands on a glacier. ... In extremely coldregions, a glacier's ice is often frozen to bedrock, which hampers its flow.

Answer: Cold glaciers are found in the regions with higher latitudes and experience less seasonal variation in temperature than those of the lower altitudes.

They also move due to the internal flow rather than the basal slippage. They get freezed to the bedrock and they do not experience the same melting.

They move due to the action of gravity and the pressure exertion by the accumulation of ice.

They move at the speed of 2 cm a day.
