Evermelt

The Reghed Glacier is the western lobe of the great ice cap that spans Faerûn, north of the Spine of the World. Along its western margin, a minor fault (related to the mountain-forming processes that raised the Spine) allows the runoff to circulate deeply in an area warmed by vulcanism and reemerge in a small, warm spring-fed pool called Evermelt. The warmth from the pool holds the glacier at bay in a tiny area, causing the towering walls of ice to form a small dell with the spring at its heart. In recent years, hunters and scouts have reported that Evermelt is shrinking, losing out to the sheer frigidity of the glacier.
