That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Glaciers are large frozen blocks of ice that are usually found near the poles. They are formed over many years from compacted snow and ice, and can be massive in size, sometimes spanning hundreds of square miles. Unlike icebergs, which are chunks of ice that break off from glaciers and float in the ocean, glaciers are stationary and can shape the landscape around them through erosion and deposition of sediment. Therefore, glaciers are the correct answer for large frozen blocks of ice found near the poles.
