Is a glacier colder in the center or the outside? by how much?

this glacier is a polytemperate glacier, it has a modest temperature change from the top to the bottom, top is colder... there are temperate glaciers that have a constant temp. and there are polar glaciers that very very cold at the top and the temp warms at the bottom by ten degrees or so.
