Geography
The Midgard Glacier is located at the southern limit of Schweizerland. It flows from the Femstjernen in the NE. It feeds the waters of the Ningerti, a branch of Sermilik (Egede og Rothes Fjord), a large fjord system where there are a number of glaciers discharging such as the Helheim Glacier.[2]
This glacier is named after Midgard, one of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology.
gollark: Ah, it seems that it has a `package.path` thing somewhere.
gollark: Please hold on while I dredge through æons of weird CC code.
gollark: I know how the shell path bit works, just not the require bit.
gollark: I basically want to make the shell run programs from `/bin` and `require` use `/lib` without the hacks potatOS employs.
gollark: Anyone know how to add extra paths to `require`?
