I missed Victoria, Banks, Sakhalin and Southampton. Are they really all glacier-free?

I'm surprised Honshu and New Guinea didn't show up here.

Victoria, Banks, and Southampton are actually too flat (because of past glaciers) to have glaciers on them currently, and Sakhalin's mountains don't appear to be high enough for flowing, permanent ice-fields. New Guinea actually has a few glaciers on Puncak Jaya, and Honshu has a few glaciers in the Hida Mountains.
