Dry Nest

The Dry Nest is a separate climatic and glaciology subregion of the Vulture's Nest Mountains. It is part of the southeastern Vulture's Nest subregion, along with the Wet Nest. The Dry Nest spreads for miles, and despite Mount Niaboro volcanic activity, the year-round existence of peculiar snow formations serves to characterize the Dry Nest. The volcano includes the most developed penitentes in the southern hemisphere.
While rock glaciers are present in the Dry Nest, they are virtually non-existent in the Wet Nest to the east. Regular glaciers grow at higher elevations in the Dry Nest, whereas rock glaciers form closer to the ground. Around Mount Clarenfil, however, rock glaciers can be spotted as low as three thousand feet above sea level, marking the end of the Dry Nest and the beginnings of the Wet Nest.
