<span>The Apayao region is a section of the Philippines. It is home to the Isnag people which are sometimes referred to as the Apayao people. This is a traditional tribal community and dances are performed to appease their gods. In most cases, the Apayao tribe does one of a series of cordilllera dances, which are complex and 'knotted' which is how they were described by the Spanish. These dances are a celebration of life, and the dance for the sick, is meant to help the ill person get better.</span>
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. Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features. They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.
