There are glaciers as far south as Slovenia. Spitting distance to the mediterranean.

Granted it’s not a very big glacier, but it’s there :D

People tend to underestimate how cold it gets in the interior of countries generally seen as the "sunny Mediterranean" - from Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and even Greece.

There are glaciers on Kilimanjaro or South American mountains ie in Ecuador which are very close to equator, its just a question of altitude and given microclimate.
