Nunatak
From FIS Freestyle wiki
Nunatak (from Inuit nunataq) is an exposed, often rocky element of a ridge, mountain, or peak not covered with ice or snow within (or at the edge of) an ice field or glacier.
The term is typically used in areas where a permanent ice sheet is present.
Nunataks present readily identifiable landmark reference points in glaciers or ice caps and are often named.
