Location from ice-age by
A towering wall of ancient blue ice that marks the advancing edge of the great glacier — beautiful, immense, and indifferent to everything beneath it.
The Glacier Wall is the most constant presence in the Ice Age world — it doesn't move fast, but it moves. Every year it advances a few feet more into territory that was once tundra, valley, or forest. It is the reason for the migration, the source of the world's cold, and the most visually dramatic feature of the landscape. As a setting, the Glacier Wall is awe-inducing and subtly threatening. Scrat's interactions with it have destabilized entire sections. Ice calves from it without warning. Animals avoid it when possible and use it as shelter when desperate. There is something cathedral about it — a place that demands quiet and inspires existential thought.
The glacier rises like a frozen ocean wave locked in mid-crest, its face a cathedral of cracked blue-white ice shot through with deeper cerulean veins. Meltwater runs in thin rivulets down its face and freezes before it reaches the ground. The ice is translucent in places — you can see shapes frozen inside, dark and ambiguous. The air in front of it is ten degrees colder than anywhere else.
