The Lambert Glacier in Antarctica is 100 km wide, and about 400 km long.The Beardmore Glacier is 160 km long before it enters the Ross ice Shelf, and becomes indistinguishable from that, though it is still probably sitting on bed rock.Even bigger in area, are the various ice plateaus and ice shelves, but these are not moving fast enough to be considered glaciers.

The world's largest glacier is Lambert Glacier. It is 60 miles wide, 250 miles long, and 2,500 miles deep. This means it has an area of 3,7500,000 square miles. It holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest glacier.

The world's longest glacier is the Lambert-Fisher glacierat an icy 320 miles in length and a not-so-hot 25 miles in width. The Lambert-Fisher glacier is a speed demon as far as slow moving masses of ice go, moving over a half mile each year.

It's the "Aletsch Gletscher" ins Switzerland.

True, the Aletsch is the largest in the Alps, but not in the entire European continent.

The largest would be the Vatnajokull glacier, in Iceland
