Literary notes about glacier (AI summary)

In literature the term “glacier” sometimes transcends its literal reference to a vast mass of ice and is instead used to evoke a distinctive, evocative hue. This is exemplified in one passage where the glacier is described as “pale yellow” [1], imbuing the natural scene with an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality. Here, the color associated with the glacier not only paints the landscape in cool, muted tones but also deepens the reader’s emotional impression of the environment, blurring the line between the tangible icy mass and the subtle chromatic mood it inspires.
  1. The day has been gloriously sunful, the glacier pale yellow toward five o'clock.
    — from Travels in Alaska by John Muir
