Mary Shelley uses icy glaciers to give off the aura of loneliness. Arctic areas are completely deserted so it's not surprise that they were used as the setting throughout the novel. The creature says at one point "The desert mountains and dreary glaciers are my refuge. I have wandered here many days; the caves of ice, which I only do not fear, are a dwelling to me, and the only one which man does not grudge." This shows how the creature has been rejected and is forced to live in the icy mountains alone solely based upon his looks.
