Hello Kai, the DBpedia class glacier [http://mappings.dbpedia.org/server/ontology/classes/Glacier] is currently sub of dbo:NaturalPlace and there are infobox mappings in english [http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_en:Infobox_glacier], belarus [http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_be:%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%96%D0%BA], dutch [http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_nl:Infobox_gletsjer], and german [http://mappings.dbpedia.org/index.php/Mapping_de:Infobox_Gletscher].
As you can see there is currently not much information available specifically for glaciers. Though the infobox mappings could be improved. We are certainly interested in mappings to external ontologies and datasets. So feel free to create an ontology alignment. We can see how to incorporate the mapping into the ontology. If there is an open dataset using the ENVO ontology, you can create a dataset mapping and submit it via the DBpedia links repository [https://github.com/dbpedia/links]. Let us know, in case there are open questions.
