Hello Bill, I cannot provide you with a free glacier icon, although I would love to draw one. I also need to make a symbol for mangrove forest to use in conjunction with openstreetmap.
However, you triggered me to share some other information: I find that a good source ánd a good place to share imagery is openclipart: (www.openclipart.org) I allready have a set of mapsymbols there: http://openclipart.org/media/people/milovanderlinden contains symbols in svg that can be manipulated and re-used at will. There is also a nice snowflake that could be used as a starting point for your symbol: http://openclipart.org/media/files/Kliponius/12422 I added a link to OpenClipArt on the SymbologyExchange. Kind regards, Milo van der Linden Bill Thoen schreef: > I'm looking for an open source pixmap to represent glaciers on a map > set I'm making.
