Southern Patagonia Ice Field from ISS, astronaut photo.North is to the right. The Southern Patagonia Ice Field extends from parallels 48° 15′ S to 51° 30′ S for approximately 350 kilometres (220 mi), and has an approximate area of 16,480 km 2 (6,360 sq mi), of which 14,200 km 2 belong to Chile and 2,600 km 2 belong to Argentina.
During the last ice age the Patagonian Ice Sheet created the elongated and forested drumlins seen south of Puerto Williams, Chile.. The Patagonian Ice Sheet was a large elongated and narrow ice sheet centered in the southern Andes that existed during the Llanquihue glaciation.
Camp Century was an Arctic United States military scientific research base in Greenland, [1] situated 240 km (150 mi) east of Pituffik Space Base.When built, Camp Century was publicized as a demonstration for affordable ice-cap military outposts and a base for scientific research.
Cloud seeding can be done by ground generators or planes [citation needed] This image explaining cloud seeding shows a substance – either silver iodide or dry ice – being dumped onto the cloud, which then becomes a rain shower.
Diagram of ice–albedo feedback. Ice reflects more light back into space, whereas land and water absorb more of the sunlight. Ice–albedo feedback is a climate change feedback, where a change in the area of ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice alters the albedo and surface temperature of a planet.
Leviathan Patera (center) and Ruach Planitia (upper left), two large cryovolcanic features on Neptune's moon Triton. A cryovolcano (sometimes informally referred to as an ice volcano) is a type of volcano that erupts gases and volatile material such as liquid water, ammonia, and hydrocarbons.
Soviet drifting ice station depicted on a 1955 stamp. A drifting ice station is a temporary or semi-permanent facility built on an ice floe.During the Cold War the Soviet Union and the United States maintained a number of stations in the Arctic Ocean on floes such as Fletcher's Ice Island for research and espionage, the latter of which were often little more than quickly constructed shacks.
