A glacier is a very large amount of ice that is slowly moving. The ice comes from fallen snow in an area that is so cold the snow just keeps building up faster than it melts away. There is an enormous amount of fresh water frozen inside glaciers, which are found all over the world except Australia.
Because glaciers move and are so big and hard, they can change the landscape as they move. The ice from the glaciers eventually ends up in the sea.
A glade is an open space in the forest, similar to a clearing.

A cup or mug is very similar to a glass. All three are used to drink from. Glasses are transparent so you can see what is inside, and mugs have a handle on the side to help hold them. People usually drink hot drinks from cups with handles.
A glaze is a layer of material melted onto ceramic. Glazing is often seen on decorative pottery and tiles.
Glazes are essentially made from sand that melts into glass as it is fired, with other compounds mixed into it to make sure it melts at the right temperature, and others added to change the colour of the glaze.
A glider is a type of aircraft that doesn't have engines. Gliders are usually towed up into the air by another plane and can glide a very long way before they reach the ground.
Some gliders, called motor gliders have small engines for takeoff and to keep them in the air longer.
Something glistens if it is softly shiny, particularly if it is wet. The cranberries in the picture are glistening.
Globules are small lumps of something that are almost spherical.
