Glaciers, ice caps, ice fields, ice sheets and ice shelves from Wikidata with articles in 10 or more Wikipedia editions, or 300 km² or larger, or 40 km or longer; a glacier that is also a mountain or volcano stays with the peaks. Places are by geography: what lies in a dependency counts for its own region (Puerto Rico’s islands are the Caribbean’s, Réunion’s Africa’s), and Hawaii is in Polynesia.
