Well, in that case, the numerous fans of the Welteislehre probably find more to cheer for on Jötunheim.

If the ASNs go far enough north on Germania Hyperborea, they just find the expected Scandinavian glaciers and if they go further, Icelandic, Greenland and Svalbard ones. To the east, it's the same story, pretty much the same physical geography.

That being said, if there were any good calculations in 1940s glaciology, climatolology or other disciplines of exactly how big these glaciers are supposed to be at various eras in the last four or five millenia of human history on Earth, maybe exploring them yields a better estimate of the local year.

I don't know if that would give them more or less precise results than relying on the Blytt-Sernander system from the inevitable Ahnenerbe expedition to look for Aryan homelands to the north of where the ASNs are settling, but at least it gives more data points.
