Hi. You've added some nice edits. One small reversion I made is to remove the name from this rink. The name described the function but isn't a proper name. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.

Hello. I'm curious what your rubric is for determining when to change place? Glennallen has all the amenities of a town and contextually village has a different meaning here.

New article today explains the origin of Igloo city.

"That’s the reason Google Maps labels the structure as Igloo City — a previous owner got a liquor license under that name for the building with the intention of having more igloos nearby, and the name stuck even if the owner did not, Fisher said."

Are you connected to the Igloo City push?

This is not Europe and so you're assumption doesn't hold. We know the origin of this area because it isn't more than a hundred years old.

This area is called Cantwell (as listed in AtlasObscura under igloo city).

Cantwell's origin is traced to it as a railroad stopping point and named after Lieutenant J. C. Cantwell.

Wikipedia has more info as you need.

The origin of who called it igloo city is unsourced.

Here's a twitter thread from a local historian that writes twice weekly columns for the largest Alaska newspaper and there is no reference to "igloo city".

This is what the girlfriend told me from her camping adventure. I'm not against removing it.

I would be inclined to call it piste:skitour. I don't think many people are hiking snowshoeing but I can't speak for each trail.
