    Islandmountainglacier. Got it. Why didn’t they say that in the first place?

      On an island full of mountain glaciers, it does make you wonder how they came up with that name.

        The others have names like “rock flake”, “old hag”, “cloak”, “broad shoulders”, "Erik’s “glacier” and “baldric’s bump” from what I can quickly find. It seems they gave up with the Islandmountainglacier.
