Névé in a valley of Haute-Savoie, France Névé is a young, granular type of snow which has been partially melted, refrozen and compacted, yet precedes the form of ice. This type of snow is associated with glacier formation through the process of nivation. Névé that survives a full season of ablation turns into firn, which is both older and slightly denser. Firn eventually becomes glacial ice – the long-lived, compacted ice that glaciers are composed of.

The névé or snowfield at the head of Franz Josef Glacier is over above sea level and a in area. This wide névé, which is over 300 m deep, feeds large amounts of compacted snow into a steep and narrow valley which drops quickly to very low altitudes: the glacier descends to above sea level in just . This combination of factors leads to Franz Josef persisting where most temperate-zone glaciers would have already melted, and allows it to share a valley with temperate rain forest. Franz Josef Glacier currently terminates from the Tasman Sea.

An aerial view down the glacier. Franz Josef Glacier exhibits a cyclic pattern of advance and retreat, driven by differences between the volume of meltwater at the foot of the glacier and volume of snowfall feeding the névé. Over the past 14,000 years glaciers worldwide have generally retreated. Most of New Zealand's large glaciers shrank significantly towards the end of the 20th century, a consequence of global warming.

The Province then bought it, anticipating future development in the area; future provincial governments sold off even more portions. The upper Pitt's basin is short but fed by a number of ice fields, glaciers, and mountain streams, such as Garibaldi Névé and Mamquam Icefield. Thus the river gets quite large only 50 km from its source in Garibaldi Provincial Park. East of the upper Pitt is Golden Ears Provincial Park (formerly a part of Garibaldi Provincial Park).
|
|
The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1888 by Reverend William S. Green and Rev. Henry Swanzy. Mount Bonney, Bonney Glacier, and Bonney Névé were each named in 1888 by Reverend Green for Thomas George Bonney (1833–1923), president of the Geological Society of London and president of the Alpine Club of London.Mount Bonney BC Geographical Names The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1932 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Mount Garibaldi and The Table as seen from The Black Tusk. Mountain climbing on Mount Garibaldi is fairly difficult; it is fairly steep-sided and involves climbing very loose rotten lava and volcanic ash. Fortunately, Mount Garibaldi has large areas of massive glaciation and extensive snowfields. The eastern and northern flanks of the mountain are smothered by the Garibaldi Névé where the finest climbing opportunities exist, making the easiest route a glacial travel or snow climb.

The topographical survey he carried out will still be used nearly forty years later. In March 1952, about above sea level in Nevado Juncal close to Aconcagua, he first observed snow penitents, mysterious structures already encountered by Charles Darwin and attributed by natives to carving of névé by strong winds. Lliboutry qualitatively explained their formation, due to complex phenomena of melting and infrared-radiation re-emitted by the penitents. This marks his first important contribution to glaciology.

Dory Nunatak () is an isolated sandstone nunatak, 1.2 nautical miles (2.2 km) long, rising above the southwest part of Flight Deck Neve, 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southwest of Dotson Ridge, in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land. One of a group of nautical names in the Convoy Range, it was so named by a 1989–90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme party because the feature appears to be sailing in the midst of the glacier névé like a small dory type boat.
|
|
Mello Nunatak () is an isolated nunatak standing east of Mount Staley in the Freyberg Mountains of Antarctica, in the northeastern part of Evans Névé. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for chief engineman Gerald L. Mello, U.S. Navy, petty officer in charge of Hallett Station, summer 1966–67, and a member of the McMurdo Station winter party of 1967.

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Selwyn is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports an intensely glaciated area around the mountain including the Fox Glacier on the north aspect, The Bishops Glacier on the south, the Deville Névé to southeast, and the Deville Glacier to the east. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Beaver River.

Nivation is the set of geomorphic processes associated with snow patches. The primary processes are mass wasting and the freeze and thaw cycle, in which fallen snow gets compacted into firn or névé. The importance of the processes covered by the term nivation with regard to the development of periglacial landscapes has been questioned by scholars, and the use of the term is discouraged. Nivation has come to include various subprocesses related to snow patches which may be immobile or semi-permanent.

The passage along this arête at a so early period of the year, before the snow has become well consolidated, involved some risk and a slope of névé lying at an angle of 50°, required care and good step-cutting. But the summit could be reached without too much difficulty. Like many other climbers, Tuckett took with him a barometer and made scientific observations. He noted the icy temperature and the very strong wind, blowing the snow and threatening to knock over the climbers.

But the pass () was up a feet slope of steep ice and winds funnelled over the pass. So Hardie and Hillary agreed that the névé 500 feet lower was better and safer. But the absent Pugh (though he agreed that it was safer there) was displeased at not being consulted, though he had been at Changmatang for two weeks; an early indication of the difficult relationship between Hillary and Pugh. The scientific phase of the expedition here lasted from November 1960 to March 1961.

|
Glimpse Glacier () is an alpine glacier composed of two segments, separated by an icefall, which flow northeast from the névé in the area between Mount Kempe and Mount Huggins, Antarctica. It joins Pipecleaner Glacier south of the confluence of the latter with Radian Glacier. It was so named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, because it was up this glacier that the geologists traversed to the Koettlitz–Skelton divide at the ridge crest in order to gain their only glimpse of the polar plateau in January 1961.
|
|
Head Peak () is a peak east of Le Couteur Peak, situated on a projecting ridge of Millen Range in the névé area of Pearl Harbor Glacier, Victoria Land, Antarctica. This topographical feature was so named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Federated Mountain Clubs Antarctic Expedition (NZFMCAE), 1962–63, due to its likeness to a head and to its position at the head of the adjacent Pearl Harbor Glacier. The peak lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.

However in the Southern Alps warmer temperatures cause increased precipitation on the western face of the Main Divide, and Franz Josef glacier being short and steep is more sensitive to increased snow in the névé than other glaciers. If the increased precipitation falls as snow, the glacier will advance; if as rain, it will retreat. Increased snowfall takes around 5–6 years to result in changes in the terminus location. Franz Josef Glacier advanced rapidly during the Little Ice Age, reaching a maximum in the early 18th century.

The Pleiades are a volcanic group in northern Victoria Land of Antarctica. It consists of youthful cones and domes with Mount Atlas/Mount Pleiones, a small stratovolcano formed by three overlapping cones, being the dominant volcano and rising above the Evans Névé plateau. Two other named cones are Alcyone Cone and Taygete Cone, the latter of which has been radiometrically dated to have erupted during the Holocene. A number of tephra layers across Antarctica have been attributed to eruptions of this volcanic group, including several that may have occurred within the last few hundred years.

The first reference to Inuit having multiple words for snow is in the introduction to Handbook of American Indian languages (1911) by linguist and anthropologist Franz Boas. He says: The essential morphological question is why a language would say, for example, "lake", "river", and "brook" instead of something like "waterplace", "waterfast", and "waterslow". English has many snow-related words,Some of them are borrowed from other languages, like firn (German), névé (French), penitentes (Spanish) and sastrugi (Russian). but Boas's intent may have been to connect differences in culture with differences in language.

From thence the way lay along the arête. This was very narrow, and in some places difficult, where steep rocks projected through the névé. After overcoming the rocks, the travellers found the ridge wider, but also much steeper than below, and to reach the highest point it was necessary to wind round the north side of the peak, so that the final climb was made from the north-west. The summit is a ridge about 200 feet long, running from north to south, and in one part bare of snow.

The Mohn Basin () is a major depression in the surface near the edge of the Antarctic polar plateau. It extends southward from the western limit of the Quarles Range for about and includes the névé area adjacent to the heads of the Bowman, Devils, Amundsen and Scott glaciers, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. The feature was encountered in December 1911 by the South Pole party of the Norwegian expedition under Roald Amundsen, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Norwegian meteorologist Henrik Mohn, the author of the meteorological report of this expedition.

Irwin Glacier () is a steep tributary glacier in the Bowers Mountains of Antarctica, draining northeast from Edlin Névé and at the terminus coalescing with Montigny Glacier (from the north), with which it enters the larger Graveson Glacier. The glacier was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Carlisle S. Irwin, a former glaciologist who participated in the study of Meserve Glacier in 1966–67. The glacier lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.

Newall Glacier is a glacier in the east part of the Asgard Range of Victoria Land, flowing east between Mount Newall and Mount Weyant into the Wilson Piedmont Glacier. In its uppermost névé area sits Kaminuma Crag, a craggy, island-like nunatak, long, rising to high. The glacier was mapped by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58, who named it after nearby Mount Newall. The crag was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1997 for Japanese geophysicist Katsutada Kaminuma, Professor of Earth Sciences at the National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo.

The Kreutz Snowfield () is an intermontane snowfield of 3 square miles in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. The snowfield is bounded to the south by Forsyth Peak, to the west by the Victoria Upper Névé, to the north by Mount Leland, and to the east by Mount Isaac. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2005 after Karl J. Kreutz, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Maine, who investigated late Holocene climate variability from Siple Dome ice cores for three field seasons from 1994 to 1997; from Taylor Glacier and Clark Glacier ice cores for two seasons, 2003 to 2005.

Bordogna Plateau () is a high triangular plateau in the south Holland Range of the Shackleton Coast, approximately 45 square miles in extent and varying from 3000 to 4000 meters in elevation. The plateau is bordered by steep cliffs, and by Mount Lloyd on the north and Clarkson Peak and Mount Miller on the south. The abrupt southern cliffs rise 1200 meters above the Bowden Névé. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2005 after Joseph Bordogna who served the National Science Foundation as Assistant Director for Engineering (1992–96), Assistant Deputy Director (1996–99), and Deputy Director (1999-2005).

Garrard Glacier () is a glacier in the Queen Alexandra Range of Antarctica, draining eastward from the névé between Mount Lockwood and Mount Kirkpatrick and entering Beardmore Glacier south of Bell Bluff. It appears that the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, applied the name "Garrard Glacier" to the feature which had been named Bingley Glacier by Ernest Shackleton in 1908. The area was surveyed by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62), who retained Bingley Glacier on the basis of priority and reapplied the name Garrard Glacier to this previously unnamed feature. The name is for Apsley Cherry-Garrard, a zoologist with the British Antarctic Expedition.

The Trugberg is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, located south of the Mönch in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is located above the Konkordiaplatz where the névé of the Jungfraufirn on the west side and the Ewigschneefeld on the east side converge to form the Aletsch Glacier. Debris accumulating on both sides of the mountain form one of the two important supraglacial moraines of the Aletsch Glacier. During their ascent of the Jungfrau in 1841, a group of explorers including Pierre Jean Édouard Desor and Louis Agassiz for a while thought that the Trugberg, hiding the Jungfrau from sight, was their destination.

He returned to New Zealand in 1975, became professor of geology at Victoria in 1983, retired in 1999, and was granted the title of emeritus professor. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1982, and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1991. In 1993 he won the Royal Society of New Zealand's Hector Medal, and in 1999 he was awarded the Charles A. Whitten Medal by the American Geophysical Union. The Walcott Névé in the Ross Dependency was named for Walcott by the northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition in 1961–62, of which he was the leader.

Mount Gilbert, 3124 m (10249 ft) prominence: 484 m,Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia entry is a mountain in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is located south of the confluence of the Bishop and Southgate Rivers and to the west of the Compton Névé, a large icefield, and to the south of the Homathko Icefield, another large icefield. The mountain was named in honour of Sir Humphrey Gilbert, a British navigator who was the half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh. Mount Raleigh is nearby and in prominence-terms is Mount Gilbert's "line parent", with a prominence of 484 m.

Doolittle Bluff () is the large rock bluff at the head of Suess Glacier, on the north side of Taylor Valley, Victoria Land. From the Suess Glacier névé, the bluff rises to a summit area at . It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (1997) after John H. (Jack) Doolittle, an American physicist who was: Station Science Leader at Siple Station, winter party 1977; Research Scientist at the Lockheed Martin Palo Alto Research Laboratory, Space Physics Laboratory, from 1983; and Staff Physicist there from 1993; a continuous participant as a South Pole co-investigator in auroral studies since 1983; and made 20 working visits to Antarctica (McMurdo, Siple and South Pole Stations) from the 1975–76 season.

The expansive Illecillewaet Névé lies to the southwest, the Sir Donald Glacier lies below the steep northeast wall, and a small unnamed glacier lies at the bottom of the steep southeast slope. Precipitation runoff from the mountain and meltwater from the glaciers drains west into the Illecillewaet River, and east into the Beaver River. The first ascent of the peak was made in 1906 by Allan F. Kitchell, Cornelius P. Kitchell, and Edward Feuz Jr. The mountain's name was officially adopted December 31, 1924, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Based on the Köppen climate classification, Terminal Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.

It was therefore thought expedient to return, and to attempt the ascent by the ice-slope, as it should be called since the névé is so hard and slippery as to make stepcutting very laborious. Ulrich Lauener on that occasion displayed extraordinary strength and endurance, having in 5 hours of uninterrupted work cut 580 steps on an ice slope of from 50 to 52° inclination. That effort sufficed only to enable the party to gain a patch of rock some way below the summit of the ridge, and more than an hour more was expended in reaching the desired goal. Turning to the right along the arête, they finally reached at 6 p.m.

The Lillooet Icecap and the Compton Névé, both similar in size to the Homathko Icefield but much more peak- studded, lie to the Homathko Icefield's southeast across the Southgate River which bends around the icefield-massif's southern flank to reach the head of Bute Inlet adjacent to the mouth of the Homathko River. The icefield is essentially one large ice-girt montane plateau between these two rivers. The highest summit of the icefield is Mount Grenville, located at its southern edge. Among its other peaks are Plateau Peak, Cambridge Peak, Cloister Peak, Galleon Peak and, on its northwest overlooking the site of the opening battle of the Chilcotin War, Klattasine Peak, named for the Tsilhqot'in leader of the war.

Hughes Basin () is a large basinlike névé in the Britannia Range of Antarctica which is bounded except to the south by the Ravens Mountains, Mount Henderson, Mount Olympus and Mount Quackenbush. The feature is long and the ice surface descends north–south from near Mount Olympus to near Darnell Nunatak, where there is discharge to Byrd Glacier. It was named after Terence J. Hughes of the Department of Geological Sciences and the Institute of Quaternary Studies at the University of Maine, Orono, who made an intensive study of the Byrd Glacier in 1978–79, entailing photogrammetric determination of the elevation of the ice surface and its velocity, radio-echo sounding from LC-130 aircraft, and ground survey from fixed stations close to Byrd Glacier and moving stations on the glacier itself.

Midship Glacier () is a broad flat glacier filling the bulk of Alatna Valley and having its origin on the slopes of Mount Morrison to the south, in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land, Antarctica. From 1957 this ice body was considered part of Benson Glacier, however, it was determined by a 1989–90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme field party (led by Trevor Chinn) that although it abuts against the main Benson Glacier at Jetsam Moraine, this glacier makes no contribution of ice to the Benson as its dominant ice flow is northward across its length. With the identification of Midship Glacier as a distinct feature, the application of Benson Glacier has been restricted to the ice flowing eastward from Flight Deck Névé to the terminus in Granite Harbour. The name was approved by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1993 as recommended by the New Zealand Geographic Board.
