when a boulder is in the path of Glacier, It would more than likely be crushed into smaller bits of rocks under the pressure of the glaicer The glacier contain a massive amount of river ice on the mountain. When it falls down, it will create a strong force that could destroy even a strong and hard object such as a boulder
