Curt, I just found a comment in TerraGear's ShapeFile/process.sh:
# FiXME: Two glacier themes; have same name in database
This is simply because someone, who started implementing the use of
VMAP0-data for FlightGear Scenery, decided to map two different types
of massive ice to the same FlightGear "Glacier" material.
The one is declared as "Snow/Ice Fields and Glaciers" (above terrain),
the other one is "Polar Ice". I guess David M. decided they would be
both well represented with the same FlightGear texture.
The same is with "Marsh", but you can expect these duplicates to be
obsoleted after some reorganization of the Scenery database has
happened. The recent state was just an exact picture of what had
earlier been retrieved from VMAP0 files.
Cheers,
Martin.
