About glacier names

A glacier name is usually two parts: a place, a person or a description, then the local word for the ice. Icelandic uses jökull, as in Vatnajökull. Norwegian maps print breen, "the glacier", and use fonna for broad ice domes such as Folgefonna. German has Gletscher, with Ferner in Tyrol and Kees in the Hohe Tauern. French writes Glacier de, Italian Ghiacciaio or Vedretta, Spanish Glaciar, and Chilean maps often say Ventisquero. English-speaking surveyors mostly named glaciers after people, ships and institutions.

The second word tells you what kind of ice it is. A glacier flows down a valley, an icefield feeds several glaciers from high ground, an ice cap buries the land under a dome, an icefall is the steep, broken stretch, and an ice shelf floats on the sea while attached to the land.

About a fifth of this list is real glaciers, each with its country, US state or region in brackets, from Mendenhall Glacier (Alaska) to Ross Ice Shelf (Antarctica). The rest are invented in the same patterns: surveyor names such as Threlkeld Glacier, plain descriptions, Nordic and Alpine forms built from everyday words, polar shelves, fantasy epithets like The Slow River, haunted and sacred ice, and glaciers for frozen planets. A name without brackets is not a claim about a real place.

How to choose glacier names

  • Choose the form word by who named the ice: jökull for an Icelandic-flavored coast, breen or fonna for a Norwegian one, Gletscher, Ferner or Kees for the German-speaking Alps, Glacier de for French valleys, Ghiacciaio for Italian ones, and plain Glacier where English-speaking surveyors drew the map.
  • Match the type word to the shape on your map. A valley of ice is a Glacier, a high plateau of it is an Icefield or an Ice Cap, a steep broken step is an Icefall, and ice that floats off the coast is an Ice Shelf or an Ice Tongue.
  • Tie the glacier to its neighbors. Real glaciers often share a stem with the peak above them or the valley below, so if the mountain is Ravnskar, the ice can be Ravnskarbreen and the stream that drains it can carry the same stem.
  • Copy the letters exactly. Ö, ø, å, ð and þ are part of the spelling, not decoration; if your setting is English-speaking, pick the Glacier, Icefield and Icefall forms instead.
  • For a real-world setting use the entries that carry a place in brackets. For an invented world use the others, and look a name up first if it matters that no real glacier shares it.

Frequently asked questions

Are the glaciers in this list real places?

The entries with a country, US state or region in brackets are real, for example Mendenhall Glacier (Alaska), Vatnajökull (Iceland) and Ross Ice Shelf (Antarctica). The others, such as Threlkeld Glacier, Stormbreen and Widow's Stair Icefall, are built in the same patterns for stories, maps and games. A plain descriptive name can match a real glacier by chance, so look it up if that matters to you.

What do jökull, breen, Ferner and Kees mean?

They all mean glacier. Jökull is Icelandic, breen is the Norwegian definite form of bre, and Ferner and Kees are regional words from the Eastern Alps, where standard German says Gletscher. The list uses each of them for invented names, as in Hrímjökull, Stormbreen, Nebelferner and Wolfskees.

What is the difference between a glacier, an icefield and an ice shelf?

A glacier is a body of ice that flows downhill under its own weight, usually along a valley. An icefield is a wide upland sheet of ice that feeds several glaciers at once, and an ice shelf is thick ice that has flowed off the land and floats on the sea while still attached to the coast. That is why the list has names like Blue Tongue Icefield and Midwinter Ice Shelf beside the plain Glacier forms.

How do I name a glacier on a fantasy map?

Start with one concrete thing, such as a color, a shape, a sound, a creature or a legend, and add the word for the ice. Groaning Glacier, Trollback Glacier and Ghostlight Glacier all work that way. Then let a few carry an epithet with no ice word at all, like The Slow River or Frostmaw, and keep the rest plain, which is how real ranges read.
