A '''firn''' (a.k.a. Névé) is a dense, [[ice|icy]] pack of [[snow]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> If left alone, it will soon become solid glacial ice, but is at this particular stage still granular. The name for this formation actually means "of last year" in German, probably because the snow in firns is old.<ref>"Firn." Britannica Academic. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 2016.
