Gorilla Glacier is a snow-covered area on the peak of Kong Island, in which it appears in Donkey Kong Country. It is the fourth world, and comes after Vine Valley but before Kremkroc Industries Inc.. Aside from taking place during heavy snowstorms, Gorilla Glacier features a frozen lake, ice caverns filled with crystals, a small pine forest, and a village within the treetops. Really Gnawty is the world boss.

It has been implied that Gorilla Glacier is the same location as the Ice World from DK: King of Swing and Volcano from Donkey Kong Country Returns, the latter after all of its ice was thawed.

Profiles

Donkey Kong Country

• instruction booklet (page 21): The snowcapped peaks of Donkey Kong Country are rarely climbed due to the hazardous conditions found at such high elevations. The ground is like solid ice and does not offer a firm foothold for the explorer. Blinding blizzards often strike without warning. The resulting lack of visibility can make the already challenging obstacles in this area next to impossible!
• Prima Official Game Guide (page 91): You spend most of the time in icy outdoor environments, freezing your fur off and stopping sooner than expected to avoid a nasty fall. Some of the stages are initially confusing (such as Ice Age Alley and Slipslide Ride) and you may think the exit is never coming—hang in there and pull off an eventual completion. Then return to master the stages.
