Difference between Glacier and Polar desert

Glacier vs. Polar desert

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. Polar deserts are the regions of the Earth that fall under an Ice cap climate (EF under the Köppen classification).
