Glaciers are huge and move at a very slow rate. They carry till and deposit over time. This is not a glacier. Glaciers are what developed our landscapes. This is just lots of snow slidding on on a downward slope.

This is not a glacier..this is part of an avalanche that is slipping on road because even road has an ice layer over it & as a result there is poor friction.
