Snezhnika

The Snezhnika glacieret in July 2012

Created by TodorBozhinov (talk). Self nominated at 20:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC).

  • Comment: I like the article, it fits all the requirements, but the hook could use some work. How is a glacieret different from a glacier? The link glaceriet goes to glacier, but instinct tells me that it is smaller than a glacier? I would make this distinct in your hook. What is a glacier mass? If said, what is the most southern glacier mass in Europe? This needs to be specific. Last, what are the boundaries of Europe, aka HOW is this the most southern glacier mass?

ALT1: ... that the Snezhnika glacier located in the Pirin Mountains in Bulgaria is the most southern glacier in Europe?
Thanks for the review! A glacieret is a quasi-permanent remnant of a glacier. A more detailed definition can be found in the Grunewald paper, p. 130. Snezhnika definitely cannot be called a full-fledged glacier and it seems Europe's southernmost proper glacier for now is the Calderone glacier (it's disappearing quickly), so your version isn't factually correct anymore.
Europe's southern boundary is quite clear: the Mediterranean Sea, so the 'southernmost in Europe' part shouldn't be a matter of dispute.
I'd suggest dropping glacieret from the hook, but keeping 'glacial mass' as per the references and their terminology, like so: Toдor Boжinov 22:04, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that Snezhnika, located in the Pirin Mountains in Bulgaria, is the southernmost glacial mass in Europe?
