Monadnock is an originally Native American term for an isolated hill or a lone mountain that has risen above the surrounding area, typically by surviving erosion. The name was taken from Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire (USA). The name is thought to derive from the Abenaki language, from either menonadenak ("smooth mountain") or menadena ("isolated mountain").

Why are there no Piedmont glaciers to be fond in Anchorage Alaska?
The geography of the Anchroage area won't support a Piedmont glacier. This glacier (the Piedmont glacier) is characterized by large stagnant ice sheets where a glacier or glaciers "doesn't/don't have anywhere to go" for lack of an outlet. All the areas around Anchroage, Alaska slope down to the sea. There is no place for the ice of a Piedmont glacier to "build up" for lack of a way to "break out" or to "get stopped" to form this glacier.

What are Piedmont glaciers?
Piedmont glaciers are a type of glacier that forms when a valley glacier spills out onto relatively flat plains, creating a wide fan-shaped lobe. These glaciers are common in regions with mountainous terrain, where the glaciers flow downhill and spread out as they reach lower elevations. Piedmont glaciers can be found in places like Alaska, Norway, and the Alps.
