National Geographic Style Manual has moved to
Capitalize the word when it is part of a name; it rarely is not capitalized. Often a glacier is not listed in official gazetteers but takes a name associated with a river or valley that can be confirmed. These should still be capitalized as associated features.
Columbia Glacier
Fang Glacier
Rhône Glacier
Some glacier names cannot be confirmed or associated with confirmed features and should be lowercased; re-write the context for clarity, such as "At the glacier north of Namche," not "At the Namche glacier."
