The area known as the Glacial Fissure encompassed the vicinity of a volcanic rift on the planet Hoth, more formally known as White Maw Pass. The designation "Glacial Fissure" described the territory bounded by the Tromper Crags, the eastern edge of Highmount Ridge, and the Starship Graveyard located westward. Additionally, the Crystal Wastes, which lay south of White Maw Pass, were also regarded as belonging to this zone.
Within the fissure resided Geo Beasts, creatures whose brains were collected to be used as a delicacy during the Feast of Prosperity.
