Presently, 10% of land area (15,000,000 square kilometers) is covered with glaciers.
Glaciers store about 75% of the world's freshwater.
During the last Ice Age, glaciers covered 32% of the total land area.
If all land ice melted, sea level would rise approximately 70 meters worldwide.
Glacier ice crystals can grow to be as large as baseballs.
