Flying between mountain tops & glaciers

Are pilots flying routinely over mountainous area scattered with high altitude glaciers, at moderate flight levels (around 9000 ft), subject to occasional blinding (or have their plane lit up) by strong specular sunlight reflections originating from high altitude glaciers during sunny and clear sky flights ?
And in the affirmative, is it a frequently occuring phenomenon ?
