A glacier biome is a biome with a freezing climate that is mostly composed of ice. They are normally only found on the larger world maps.

There are few resources on an ice tile; no trees, plants, water, animals, stone, or ores are typically included. In addition the Ice can be several z-layers thick, which can make getting to any stone underneath even more challenging.

These factors make a glacier a very difficult biome to build a successful fortress in, although many players try it as a challenge.
