I've decide to play through FFVII again & actually beat it this time & not lose interest when I get to the crater but anyway does anyone know how to get the Alexander materia on the Glacier, I've heard something to do with a Snow Queen & the hot spring?

On the Great Glacier, find the hot spring (look for steam rising from water), touch the water, then find the snow witch's hermitage and talk to her. She'll be freaked out on account of your warmth; defeat her, and you'll obtain Alexander.

I could probably wrangle you some precise directions, but really, you can just wander around for a few minutes and get your bearings around the glacier pretty easily.

If I remember right, you've gotta push a button - circle? - to make Cloud dip his greasy mitts in the water.

What the others said

It's not that difficult.

Pick up your snow board and then head back
to the guy walking at the other end of town and then to the forest
on your right to leave. This is very important when the path splits
in two you need to go left and then at the second split off go
right. From here take the south exit and save your game.

Great Glacier

Go back to
the ice burg and go east once inside. Follow the path until you reach a new area
and go north east. After the paths go north west. When you reach the
next area there are hot springs to the bottom of the screen. You
need to touch them. Then go west past some paths and then you’ll be
in this big area where you can set markers up. You need to go east.
The only real way to know which way is east is a little cave in the
center of the field. Once you find the cave the entrance is pointing
south. Once you’ve gone east and to a new area, go into the cave and
then you’ll see a person there. Talk to her and then pick up the
materia. Now head out of the cave and then south. After a few
screens go north on a hidden path then search the snow for a materia
which can be found when it sparkles.
