Terrain intelligence
Read the ice before you rope up.
GlacierIQ puts glacier outlines, measured ice flow and a modelled crevasse-susceptibility index on the same 3D map as your line, and shows its evidence with every reading. Below is the live layer over the Mont Blanc massif.
The short answer
GlacierIQ is a planning layer for understanding glacier terrain and route context. It can highlight where to investigate more closely, but it is not a complete hazard detector or a safety guarantee.
Inspect the ice around the route
Open a route in 3D, inspect glacier boundaries and metadata, sample crevasse-susceptibility context along the line, and add decision waypoints to the plan.
Pair it with SnowSight and weather
Glacier travel changes with snow, temperature, visibility and timing. Use GlacierIQ beside SnowSight, elevation-aware weather, route geometry and current local information.
Evidence carries a boundary
Remote sensing and modelled context have freshness and coverage limits. Treat the layer as evidence for preparation, not permission to travel.
Frequently asked questions
Does GlacierIQ show every crevasse?
No. It provides crevasse-susceptibility context and supporting evidence; it does not guarantee complete detection.
Can I use GlacierIQ with an imported GPX?
Yes. Import the route, then inspect the line against glacier and terrain layers.
Is GlacierIQ a safety system?
No. It is decision support. Use qualified leadership, current reports, sound technique and conservative judgement.
