Name the glacier.
Where is it located and why is its name deceptive regarding location?
How about Upsala Glacier, part of the Southern Patagonia Icefield. Name is deceptive because it comes from the old spelling with one p of Uppsala University, which sponsored the first glaciological studies in the area. The University is located in Uppsala, Sweden.
Smiling Sam strikes again. Good work!
Part of the glacier is in disputed territory, as both Chile and Argentina claim it. I can hear the negotiations: "That's my ice. No, it's my ice..."
Ice, ice, baby?
