    Sooooo....I wanted to give it a go, took twenty minutes to record me drawing a glacier so you could learn from it...
    And then I clicked the recording away without saving like the total pancake I am.

    I will make a second attempt tomorrow morning as a warm-up drawing.

    My approach was to make an extension to one of the wiki photos Jaxilon linked to.
    The main takeaway was to get the colours right: ice is translucent, so there are very few dark shadows. They go from light blue in front to grey in the back.
    The shapes on the front are very triangular.
    One tiny detail: the glacier has a very dark line where it touches the water.

    Hope that helps a bit

    EDIT: hooray for autosave and temporary files! Here are the full twenty minutes of me drawing:
