Overview
No reliable references or scholarly works have been identified that define or describe “Magdalena alpine” as a specific geographic feature, biological species, cultural artifact, or other distinct subject. Consequently, the term is not considered an established entry in standard reference works.
Etymology / Origin
The components of the phrase suggest possible meanings based on their individual origins:

If used together, “Magdalena alpine” could plausibly refer to an alpine‑type environment, species, or activity associated with a region named Magdalena, such as the Colombian Andes. However, such usage is speculative and not documented in authoritative sources.
