We just learned about the Antarctic Glaciers.
There are a lot of different types of glaciers. One type is called a Outlet Glacier.
This type of glacier is usually on the outside of another glacier called an inland glacier.
The inland glacier drains water to the outlet glacier, that then drains water when it melts to some other place.
It is an outlet glacier because it is at the end of a glacier and gives the water an outlet to leave the glaciers and go onto land or an ocean.
