Frost Salamanders\Giants maximum quest XP
Did not find such info not here not in any walkthoughs...

The way I see it to get maximum quest XP you should have in your party at least one evil character(or may be neutral would do too, that I do not know for sure).

0. When you get on glacier kill all wanfering troll-yeti-ettin-things. See that one bridge have to be repaired.
1. Then place your evil character as the leader of your group and go to the museum with Frost Salamanders and talk to their king. During conversation find out that Frost Giants have new king, who killed his father to became one (it will help ypu get XP to trick Frost Giant king to give you his badge without fight).
2. After that agree to help Frost Salamanders to find and kill slave leader. This could not be done if you have good character as your leader.
3. Go to slaves below. If you at this point will find human character on the level that Frost Salamanders dwell on - do not talk to her.
4. Talk to human slaves. In conversation with Soth ask for engineering manuals (get XP) to repair bridge. Talk to Gareth to find out that slave leader is highly likely dead.
5. Return to Frost Salamander king and tell him that slave leader is dead. (get XP) Agree to help return slaves to their slavery.
6. Go to that part of the museum where human is hiding. Talk to the nearest Frost Salamander (yeah, it can be talked to). Salamander will ask to help him investigate nearest corner of the hall, because he suspects that someone is there. Agree to help.
7. Finally talk to human. You will know now that this is slave leader Vera. (You can steal Amulet of Protection +1 from her.)
8. Talk to nearest Salamander and say to him that there is nobody in the corner. (get XP)
9. Talk to slave Gareth, tell him that Vera is alive. (get XP, iirc) Gareth will ask you to get the key from the door. Go to Frost Salamander king and ask him to give you key.
10. Go to the bridge, repair it, go across to the Frost Gint cave. Talk to Frost Giant king. Tell him that you know that he became king without permission and demand his badge, king will submit. (get XP for that and get XP for getting the badge itself).
11. Not so pleasant\easy part. During conversation with Frost Giant king tell him that human slaves need to be freed. (get XP for revealing yourself before the king, you get three times more for this than for previous quests here) The king will know now that you are a fraud and all creatures in the cave (except wyrms) will attack you so be ready. Just kill them all and get XP for their lives.
12. Talk to human slaves. Their talking man will ask you to kill wyrms. Kill wyrms (or you could have killed them earlier). Tell slaves that wyrms are dead and get a megatonn of XP (more that 800000 in HoF mode).
13. Slaves ask to clear their way to escape - kill all in the adjoining cave (that will include a horde of yeti-trolls and powerful evil Auril mage-preistess with a detachment of Black Ice Knights. After that tell slaves that their path is clear. (get XP. you can choose here from two paths for them, but you will get same XP for either path)
14. Return to Frost Salamanders and kill them all.
15. Gave key to human slaves at the museum. (get XP)
16. Talk to Vera and tell her that slaves are free. (get XP)

And that as I see would be all.
I believe this way you would get the maximum quest XP in this location. If I have missed something here please feel free to correct! =)
