No, I'm following the conditions, you're making things up. as usual.
I'd also note that the landscape Thor busted was hollow, as we saw a bit later in the scene-

So his bolt really just set of a chain reaction that destroyed the top layer of ice.

A cave was shown under part of it, that doesn't mean it was completely hollow. after all, mountains also have caves, are you claiming that mountains are hollow?
Interesting.
We know that Ice is, for the most part, a brittle element. However, the scene is impressive because it wasn't a small portion of Ice being shattered, but actually, we see a chain reaction in where a vast surface of Jotunheim succumbs.
However, a lightning power resides in that of electricity and heat, not only raw impact. So, the feat isn't one of raw impact, like a punch.
So, can Superman replicate the exact same feat? Will the ice crumble the same way?
I don't see evidence to believe such. They are different attacks and the Ice should react differently.

The "glacier" Thor's bolt crumbled was hollow. There was nothing but dead space under the first several feet of ice. It didn't just have a few small stray caves running through thousands of feet of solid ice, lol. Also, rock=/=ice.
What I'm saying is that the feat would have been much more impressive if the landscape had actually been a solid block of ice and not just an icy shell.

Just so we're both clear on what feat you mean, can you post it?

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at as well. It definitely did not "level" that building. It took out a good chunk off the side but that's about it. The area of the initial impact was all that was damaged, whereas Thor's slam had continuous and far reaching repercussions.
I will say though that this feat is still impressive in that Superman and Zod didn't hit the building directly but that the damage was due to the force of their collision. However, it still pales in comparison to the destruction that Thor did.
Bingo. 👆
Realistically all you'd have to do is take out a few of those pillars and the entire thing would then collapse in a domino effect. Pretty obvious that's what happened there IMO.
Afterall, we've seen Thor's lightning attacks strike the -solid- ground on several other occasions and it didn't cause anywhere near that level of collateral damage.
