That's not a Glacier!

The "glacier" is actually a perpetual snowfield and not a true glacier.

Re: That's not a Glacier!

For what it's worth, according to wikipedia its status as a glacier is the 'subject of spirited ongoing debate.'

I don't care either way, I just think it's easier to say 'glacier' than perpetual snowfield.

I think 'neveation patch' is the correct term.
