snow peaks
Frozen mountain tops
Snow peaks are mountain summits covered with snow, typically year-round due to their elevation above the permanent snow line.
The phrase evokes dramatic alpine scenery—jagged ridges and glaciated summits visible from great distances: The snow peaks of the Himalayas rose against the sky.
Sometimes used figuratively for anything suggesting such height or pristine whiteness.
