{{quote2|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!|Donkey Kong Country instruction booklet, page 21}}
'''Gorilla Glacier''' is the fourth world in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and an arctic wasteland found on the peak of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. It consists of several ice caves and deep ravines, as well as a treetop village. In most levels, there is a 3-D effect of snow and dynamic backgrounds. Most of the levels have icy, slippery ground that cause [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to slightly lose traction.

Gorilla Glacier appears to be the mountainous counterpart to the [[Volcano]] world from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. When asked if they were the same region, senior designer Kynan Pearon approved of the idea.<ref>KynanPearson (August 12, 2021).

''Twitter''. Retrieved January 30, 2022.</ref> However, the [[Cliff]] world uses arranged versions of Gorilla Glacier's music.

In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' cartoon, the Gorilla Glacier portion of [[Kongo Bongo Island]] is referred to as the '''White Mountains'''. This area is the home of [[Eddie the Mean Old Yeti]] and is otherwise fairly barren of features.
