Ice is water that is frozen into a solid state, typically forming at or below temperatures of 0 °C, 32 °F, or 273.15 K. It occurs naturally on Earth, on other planets, in Oort cloud objects, and as interstellar ice. As a naturally occurring crystalline inorganic solid with an ordered structure, ice is considered to be a mineral. Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color.

The properties of ice vary substantially with temperature, purity and other factors. |
Virtually all of the ice on Earth is of a hexagonal crystalline structure denoted as ice Ih (spoken as "ice one h"). Depending on temperature and pressure, at least nineteen phases (packing geometries) can exist. The most common phase transition to ice Ih occurs when liquid water is cooled below 0 °C (273.15 K, 32 °F) at standard atmospheric pressure. When water is cooled rapidly (quenching), up to three types of amorphous ice can form. Interstellar ice is overwhelmingly low-density amorphous ice (LDA), which likely makes LDA ice the most abundant type in the universe. When cooled slowly, correlated proton tunneling occurs below −253.15 °C (20 K, −423.67 °F) giving rise to macroscopic quantum phenomena.
Ice is abundant on the Earth's surface, particularly in the polar regions and above the snow line, where it can aggregate from snow to form glaciers and ice sheets. As snowflakes and hail, ice is a common form of precipitation, and it may also be deposited directly by water vapor as frost. The transition from ice to water is melting and from ice directly to water vapor is sublimation. These processes plays a key role in Earth's water cycle and climate. In the recent decades, ice volume on Earth has been decreasing due to climate change. The largest declines have occurred in the Arctic and in the mountains located outside of the polar regions. The loss of grounded ice (as opposed to floating sea ice) is the primary contributor to sea level rise.
Humans have been using ice for various purposes for thousands of years. Some historic structures designed to hold ice to provide cooling are over 2,000 years old. Before the invention of refrigeration technology, the only way to safely store food without modifying it through preservatives was to use ice. Sufficiently solid surface ice makes waterways accessible to land transport during winter, and dedicated ice roads may be maintained. Ice also plays a major role in winter sports.
Physical properties
Ice possesses a regular crystalline structure based on the molecule of water, which consists of a single oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms, or H–O–H. However, many of the physical properties of water and ice are controlled by the formation of hydrogen bonds between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms; while it is a weak bond, it is nonetheless critical in controlling the structure of both water and ice.
An unusual property of water is that its solid form—ice frozen at atmospheric pressure—is approximately 8.3% less dense than its liquid form; this is equivalent to a volumetric expansion of 9%. The density of ice is 0.9167–0.9168 g/cm3 at 0 °C and standard atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pa), whereas water has a density of 0.9998–0.999863 g/cm3 at the same temperature and pressure. Liquid water is densest, essentially 1.00 g/cm3, at 4 °C and begins to lose its density as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the freezing point is reached. This is due to hydrogen bonding dominating the intermolecular forces, which results in a packing of molecules less compact in the solid. The density of ice increases slightly with decreasing temperature and has a value of 0.9340 g/cm3 at −180 °C (93 K).
When water freezes, it increases in volume (about 9% for fresh water). The effect of expansion during freezing can be dramatic, and ice expansion is a basic cause of freeze-thaw weathering of rock in nature and damage to building foundations and roadways from frost heaving. It is also a common cause of the flooding of houses when water pipes burst due to the pressure of expanding water when it freezes.
Because ice is less dense than liquid water, it floats, and this prevents bottom-up freezing of the bodies of water. Instead, a sheltered environment for animal and plant life is formed beneath the floating ice, which protects the underside from short-term weather extremes such as wind chill. Sufficiently thin floating ice allows light to pass through, supporting the photosynthesis of bacterial and algal colonies. When sea water freezes, the ice is riddled with brine-filled channels which sustain sympagic organisms such as bacteria, algae, copepods and annelids. In turn, they provide food for animals such as krill and specialized fish like the bald notothen, fed upon in turn by larger animals such as emperor penguins and minke whales.
When ice melts, it absorbs as much energy as it would take to heat an equivalent mass of water by 80 °C (176 °F). During the melting process, the temperature remains constant at 0 °C (32 °F). While melting, any energy added breaks the hydrogen bonds between ice (water) molecules. Energy becomes available to increase the thermal energy (temperature) only after enough hydrogen bonds are broken that the ice can be considered liquid water. The amount of energy consumed in breaking hydrogen bonds in the transition from ice to water is known as the heat of fusion.
As with water, ice absorbs light at the red end of the spectrum preferentially as the result of an overtone of an oxygen–hydrogen (O–H) bond stretch. Compared with water, this absorption is shifted toward slightly lower energies. Thus, ice appears blue, with a slightly greener tint than liquid water. Since absorption is cumulative, the color effect intensifies with increasing thickness or if internal reflections cause the light to take a longer path through the ice. Other colors can appear in the presence of light absorbing impurities, where the impurity is dictating the color rather than the ice itself. For instance, icebergs containing impurities (e.g., sediments, algae, air bubbles) can appear brown, grey or green.
Because ice in natural environments is usually close to its melting temperature, its hardness shows pronounced temperature variations. At its melting point, ice has a Mohs hardness of 2 or less, but the hardness increases to about 4 at a temperature of −44 °C (−47 °F) and to 6 at a temperature of −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F), the vaporization point of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice).
Phases
Most liquids under increased pressure freeze at higher temperatures because the pressure helps to hold the molecules together. However, the strong hydrogen bonds in water make it different: for some pressures higher than 1 atm (0.10 MPa), water freezes at a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F). Ice, water, and water vapour can coexist at the triple point, which is exactly 273.16 K (0.01 °C) at a pressure of 611.657 Pa. The kelvin was defined as 1/273.16 of the difference between this triple point and absolute zero, though this definition changed in May 2019. Unlike most other solids, ice is difficult to superheat. In an experiment, ice at −3 °C was superheated to about 17 °C for about 250 picoseconds.
Subjected to higher pressures and varying temperatures, ice can form in nineteen separate known crystalline phases at various densities, along with hypothetical proposed phases of ice that have not been observed. With care, at least fifteen of these phases (one of the known exceptions being ice X) can be recovered at ambient pressure and low temperature in metastable form. The types are differentiated by their crystalline structure, proton ordering, and density. There are also two metastable phases of ice under pressure, both fully hydrogen-disordered; these are Ice IV and Ice XII. Ice XII was discovered in 1996. In 2006, Ice XIII and Ice XIV were discovered. Ices XI, XIII, and XIV are hydrogen-ordered forms of ices Ih, V, and XII respectively. In 2009, ice XV was found at extremely high pressures and −143 °C. At even higher pressures, ice is predicted to become a metal; this has been variously estimated to occur at 1.55 TPa or 5.62 TPa.
As well as crystalline forms, solid water can exist in amorphous states as amorphous solid water (ASW) of varying densities. In outer space, hexagonal crystalline ice is present in the ice volcanoes, but is extremely rare otherwise. Even icy moons like Ganymede are expected to mainly consist of other crystalline forms of ice. Water in the interstellar medium is dominated by amorphous ice, making it likely the most common form of water in the universe. Low-density ASW (LDA), also known as hyperquenched glassy water, may be responsible for noctilucent clouds on Earth and is usually formed by deposition of water vapor in cold or vacuum conditions. High-density ASW (HDA) is formed by compression of ordinary ice Ih or LDA at GPa pressures. Very-high-density ASW (VHDA) is HDA slightly warmed to 160 K under 1–2 GPa pressures.
Ice from a theorized superionic water may possess two crystalline structures. At pressures in excess of 500,000 bars (7,300,000 psi) such superionic ice would take on a body-centered cubic structure. However, at pressures in excess of 1,000,000 bars (15,000,000 psi) the structure may shift to a more stable face-centered cubic lattice. It is speculated that superionic ice could compose the interior of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune.
Friction properties
Ice is "slippery" because it has a low coefficient of friction. This subject was first scientifically investigated in the 19th century. The preferred explanation at the time was "pressure melting" -i.e. the blade of an ice skate, upon exerting pressure on the ice, would melt a thin layer, providing sufficient lubrication for the blade to glide across the ice. Yet, 1939 research by Frank P. Bowden and T. P. Hughes found that skaters would experience a lot more friction than they actually do if it were the only explanation. Further, the optimum temperature for figure skating is −5.5 °C (22 °F; 268 K) and −9 °C (16 °F; 264 K) for hockey; yet, according to pressure melting theory, skating below −4 °C (25 °F; 269 K) would be outright impossible. Instead, Bowden and Hughes argued that heating and melting of the ice layer is caused by friction. However, this theory does not sufficiently explain why ice is slippery when standing still even at below-zero temperatures.
Subsequent research suggested that ice molecules at the interface cannot properly bond with the molecules of the mass of ice beneath (and thus are free to move like molecules of liquid water). These molecules remain in a semi-liquid state, providing lubrication regardless of pressure against the ice exerted by any object. However, the significance of this hypothesis is disputed by experiments showing a high coefficient of friction for ice using atomic force microscopy. Thus, the mechanism controlling the frictional properties of ice is still an active area of scientific study. A comprehensive theory of ice friction must take into account all of the aforementioned mechanisms to estimate friction coefficient of ice against various materials as a function of temperature and sliding speed. 2014 research suggests that frictional heating is the most important process under most typical conditions.
Natural formation
The term that collectively describes all of the parts of the Earth's surface where water is in frozen form is the cryosphere. Ice is an important component of the global climate, particularly in regard to the water cycle. Glaciers and snowpacks are an important storage mechanism for fresh water; over time, they may sublimate or melt. Snowmelt is an important source of seasonal fresh water. The World Meteorological Organization defines several kinds of ice depending on origin, size, shape, influence and so on.Clathrate hydrates are forms of ice that contain gas molecules trapped within its crystal lattice.
In the oceans
Ice that is found at sea may be in the form of drift ice floating in the water, fast ice fixed to a shoreline or anchor ice if attached to the seafloor. Ice which calves (breaks off) from an ice shelf or a coastal glacier may become an iceberg. The aftermath of calving events produces a loose mixture of snow and ice known as Ice mélange.
Sea ice forms in several stages. At first, small, millimeter-scale crystals accumulate on the water surface in what is known as frazil ice. As they become somewhat larger and more consistent in shape and cover, the water surface begins to look "oily" from above, so this stage is called grease ice. Then, ice continues to clump together, and solidify into flat cohesive pieces known as ice floes. Ice floes are the basic building blocks of sea ice cover, and their horizontal size (defined as half of their diameter) varies dramatically, with the smallest measured in centimeters and the largest in hundreds of kilometers. An area which is over 70% ice on its surface is said to be covered by pack ice.
Fully formed sea ice can be forced together by currents and winds to form pressure ridges up to 12 metres (39 ft) tall. On the other hand, active wave activity can reduce sea ice to small, regularly shaped pieces, known as pancake ice. Sometimes, wind and wave activity "polishes" sea ice to perfectly spherical pieces known as ice eggs.

On land
The largest ice formations on Earth are the two ice sheets which almost completely cover the world's largest island, Greenland, and the continent of Antarctica. These ice sheets have an average thickness of over 1 km (0.6 mi) and have existed for millions of years.
Other major ice formations on land include ice caps, ice fields, ice streams and glaciers. In particular, the Hindu Kush region is known as the Earth's "Third Pole" due to the large number of glaciers it contains. They cover an area of around 80,000 km2 (31,000 sq mi), and have a combined volume of between 3,000-4,700 km3. These glaciers are nicknamed "Asian water towers", because their meltwater run-off feeds into rivers which provide water for an estimated two billion people.
Permafrost refers to soil or underwater sediment which continuously remains below 0 °C (32 °F) for two years or more. The ice within permafrost is divided into four categories: pore ice, vein ice (also known as ice wedges), buried surface ice and intrasedimental ice (from the freezing of underground waters). One example of ice formation in permafrost areas is aufeis - layered ice that forms in Arctic and subarctic stream valleys. Ice, frozen in the stream bed, blocks normal groundwater discharge, and causes the local water table to rise, resulting in water discharge on top of the frozen layer. This water then freezes, causing the water table to rise further and repeat the cycle. The result is a stratified ice deposit, often several meters thick.Snow line and snow fields are two related concepts, in that snow fields accumulate on top of and ablate away to the equilibrium point (the snow line) in an ice deposit.
On rivers and streams
Ice which forms on moving water tends to be less uniform and stable than ice which forms on calm water. Ice jams (sometimes called "ice dams"), when broken chunks of ice pile up, are the greatest ice hazard on rivers. Ice jams can cause flooding, damage structures in or near the river, and damage vessels on the river. Ice jams can cause some hydropower industrial facilities to completely shut down. An ice dam is a blockage from the movement of a glacier which may produce a proglacial lake. Heavy ice flows in rivers can also damage vessels and require the use of an icebreaker vessel to keep navigation possible.
Ice discs are circular formations of ice floating on river water. They form within eddy currents, and their position results in asymmetric melting, which makes them continuously rotate at a low speed.
On lakes
Ice forms on calm water from the shores, a thin layer spreading across the surface, and then downward. Ice on lakes is generally four types: primary, secondary, superimposed and agglomerate. Primary ice forms first. Secondary ice forms below the primary ice in a direction parallel to the direction of the heat flow. Superimposed ice forms on top of the ice surface from rain or water which seeps up through cracks in the ice which often settles when loaded with snow. An ice shove occurs when ice movement, caused by ice expansion and/or wind action, occurs to the extent that ice pushes onto the shores of lakes, often displacing sediment that makes up the shoreline.
Shelf ice is formed when floating pieces of ice are driven by the wind piling up on the windward shore. This kind of ice may contain large air pockets under a thin surface layer, which makes it particularly hazardous to walk across it. Another dangerous form of rotten ice to traverse on foot is candle ice, which develops in columns perpendicular to the surface of a lake. Because it lacks a firm horizontal structure, a person who has fallen through has nothing to hold onto to pull themselves out.
As precipitation
Snow and freezing rain
Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze. These droplets are able to remain liquid at temperatures lower than −18 °C (255 K; 0 °F), because to freeze, a few molecules in the droplet need to get together by chance to form an arrangement similar to that in an ice lattice; then the droplet freezes around this "nucleus". Experiments show that this "homogeneous" nucleation of cloud droplets only occurs at temperatures lower than −35 °C (238 K; −31 °F). In warmer clouds an aerosol particle or "ice nucleus" must be present in (or in contact with) the droplet to act as a nucleus. Our understanding of what particles make efficient ice nuclei is poor – what we do know is they are very rare compared to that cloud condensation nuclei on which liquid droplets form. Clays, desert dust and biological particles may be effective, although to what extent is unclear. Artificial nuclei are used in cloud seeding. The droplet then grows by condensation of water vapor onto the ice surfaces.
Ice storm is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain, which produces a glaze of ice on surfaces, including roads and power lines. In the United States, a quarter of winter weather events produce glaze ice, and utilities need to be prepared to minimize damages.
Hard forms
Hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt. The storm's updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud. The updraft dissipates and the hailstones fall down, back into the updraft, and are lifted up again. Hail has a diameter of 5 millimetres (0.20 in) or more. Within METAR code, GR is used to indicate larger hail, of a diameter of at least 6.4 millimetres (0.25 in) and GS for smaller. Stones of 19 millimetres (0.75 in), 25 millimetres (1.0 in) and 44 millimetres (1.75 in) are the most frequently reported hail sizes in North America. Hailstones can grow to 15 centimetres (6 in) and weigh more than 0.5 kilograms (1.1 lb). In large hailstones, latent heat released by further freezing may melt the outer shell of the hailstone. The hailstone then may undergo 'wet growth', where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones. The hailstone gains an ice layer and grows increasingly larger with each ascent. Once a hailstone becomes too heavy to be supported by the storm's updraft, it falls from the cloud.
Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds, particularly those with intense updrafts, high liquid water content, great vertical extent, large water droplets, and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing 0 °C (32 °F). Hail-producing clouds are often identifiable by their green coloration. The growth rate is maximized at about −13 °C (9 °F), and becomes vanishingly small much below −30 °C (−22 °F) as supercooled water droplets become rare. For this reason, hail is most common within continental interiors of the mid-latitudes, as hail formation is considerably more likely when the freezing level is below the altitude of 11,000 feet (3,400 m).Entrainment of dry air into strong thunderstorms over continents can increase the frequency of hail by promoting evaporative cooling which lowers the freezing level of thunderstorm clouds giving hail a larger volume to grow in. Accordingly, hail is actually less common in the tropics despite a much higher frequency of thunderstorms than in the mid-latitudes because the atmosphere over the tropics tends to be warmer over a much greater depth. Hail in the tropics occurs mainly at higher elevations.
Ice pellets (METAR code PL) are a form of precipitation consisting of small, translucent balls of ice, which are usually smaller than hailstones. This form of precipitation is also referred to as "sleet" by the United States National Weather Service. (In British English "sleet" refers to a mixture of rain and snow.) Ice pellets typically form alongside freezing rain, when a wet warm front ends up between colder and drier atmospheric layers. There, raindrops would both freeze and shrink in size due to evaporative cooling. So-called snow pellets, or graupel, form when multiple water droplets freeze onto snowflakes until a soft ball-like shape is formed. So-called "diamond dust", (METAR code IC) also known as ice needles or ice crystals, forms at temperatures approaching −40 °C (−40 °F) due to air with slightly higher moisture from aloft mixing with colder, surface-based air.
On surfaces
As water drips and re-freezes, it can form hanging icicles, or stalagmite-like structures on the ground. On sloped roofs, buildup of ice can produce an ice dam, which stops melt water from draining properly and potentially leads to damaging leaks. More generally, water vapor depositing onto surfaces due to high relative humidity and then freezing results in various forms of atmospheric icing, or frost. Inside buildings, this can be seen as ice on the surface of un-insulated windows. Hoar frost is common in the environment, particularly in the low-lying areas such as valleys. In Antarctica, the temperatures can be so low that electrostatic attraction is increased to the point hoarfrost on snow sticks together when blown by wind into tumbleweed-like balls known as yukimarimo.
Sometimes, drops of water crystallize on cold objects as rime instead of glaze. Soft rime has a density between a quarter and two thirds that of pure ice, due to a high proportion of trapped air, which also makes soft rime appear white. Hard rime is denser, more transparent, and more likely to appear on ships and aircraft. Cold wind specifically causes what is known as advection frost when it collides with objects. When it occurs on plants, it often causes damage to them. Various methods exist to protect agricultural crops from frost - from simply covering them to using wind machines. In recent decades, irrigation sprinklers have been calibrated to spray just enough water to preemptively create a layer of ice that would form slowly and so avoid a sudden temperature shock to the plant, and not be so thick as to cause damage with its weight.

Ablation
Ablation of ice refers to both its melting and its dissolution.
The melting of ice entails the breaking of hydrogen bonds between the water molecules. The ordering of the molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state and the solid melts to become a liquid. This is achieved by increasing the internal energy of the ice beyond the melting point. When ice melts it absorbs as much energy as would be required to heat an equivalent amount of water by 80 °C. While melting, the temperature of the ice surface remains constant at 0 °C. The rate of the melting process depends on the efficiency of the energy exchange process. An ice surface in fresh water melts solely by free convection with a rate that depends linearly on the water temperature, T∞, when T∞ is less than 3.98 °C, and superlinearly when T∞ is equal to or greater than 3.98 °C, with the rate being proportional to (T∞ − 3.98 °C)α, with α = 5/3 for T∞ much greater than 8 °C, and α = 4/3 for in between temperatures T∞.
In salty ambient conditions, dissolution rather than melting often causes the ablation of ice. For example, the temperature of the Arctic Ocean is generally below the melting point of ablating sea ice. The phase transition from solid to liquid is achieved by mixing salt and water molecules, similar to the dissolution of sugar in water, even though the water temperature is far below the melting point of the sugar. However, the dissolution rate is limited by salt concentration and is therefore slower than melting.
Role in human activities
Cooling
Ice has long been valued as a means of cooling. In 400 BC Iran, Persian engineers had already developed techniques for ice storage in the desert through the summer months. During the winter, ice was transported from harvesting pools and nearby mountains in large quantities to be stored in specially designed, naturally cooled refrigerators, called yakhchal (meaning ice storage). Yakhchals were large underground spaces (up to 5000 m3) that had thick walls (at least two meters at the base) made of a specific type of mortar called sarooj made from sand, clay, egg whites, lime, goat hair, and ash. The mortar was resistant to heat transfer, helping to keep the ice cool enough not to melt; it was also impenetrable by water. Yakhchals often included a qanat and a system of windcatchers that could lower internal temperatures to frigid levels, even during the heat of the summer. One use for the ice was to create chilled treats for royalty.
Harvesting
There were thriving industries in 16th–17th century England whereby low-lying areas along the Thames Estuary were flooded during the winter, and ice harvested in carts and stored inter-seasonally in insulated wooden houses as a provision to an icehouse often located in large country houses, and widely used to keep fish fresh when caught in distant waters. This was allegedly copied by an Englishman who had seen the same activity in China. Ice was imported into England from Norway on a considerable scale as early as 1823.
In the United States, the first cargo of ice was sent from New York City to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1799, and by the first half of the 19th century, ice harvesting had become a big business. Frederic Tudor, who became known as the "Ice King", worked on developing better insulation products for long distance shipments of ice, especially to the tropics; this became known as the ice trade.
Between 1812 and 1822, under Lloyd Hesketh Bamford Hesketh's instruction, Gwrych Castle was built with 18 large towers, one of those towers is called the 'Ice Tower'. Its sole purpose was to store Ice.
Trieste sent ice to Egypt, Corfu, and Zante; Switzerland, to France; and Germany sometimes was supplied from Bavarian lakes. From 1930s and up until 1994, the Hungarian Parliament building used ice harvested in the winter from Lake Balaton for air conditioning.
Ice houses were used to store ice formed in the winter, to make ice available all year long, and an early type of refrigerator known as an icebox was cooled using a block of ice placed inside it. Many cities had a regular ice delivery service during the summer. The advent of artificial refrigeration technology made the delivery of ice obsolete.
Ice is still harvested for ice and snow sculpture events. For example, a swing saw is used to get ice for the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival each year from the frozen surface of the Songhua River.
Artificial production
The earliest known written process to artificially make ice is by the 13th-century writings of Arab historian Ibn Abu Usaybia in his book Kitab Uyun al-anba fi tabaqat-al-atibba concerning medicine in which Ibn Abu Usaybia attributes the process to an even older author, Ibn Bakhtawayhi, of whom nothing is known.
Ice is now produced on an industrial scale, for uses including food storage and processing, chemical manufacturing, concrete mixing and curing, and consumer or packaged ice. Most commercial icemakers produce three basic types of fragmentary ice: flake, tubular and plate, using a variety of techniques. Large batch ice makers can produce up to 75 tons of ice per day. In 2002, there were 426 commercial ice-making companies in the United States, with a combined value of shipments of $595,487,000. Home refrigerators can also make ice with a built in icemaker, which will typically make ice cubes or crushed ice. The first such device was presented in 1965 by Frigidaire.
Land travel
Ice forming on roads is a common winter hazard, and black ice particularly dangerous because it is very difficult to see. It is both very transparent, and often forms specifically in shaded (and therefore cooler and darker) areas, i.e. beneath overpasses.
Whenever there is freezing rain or snow which occurs at a temperature near the melting point, it is common for ice to build up on the windows of vehicles. Often, snow melts, re-freezes, and forms a fragmented layer of ice which effectively "glues" snow to the window. In this case, the frozen mass is commonly removed with ice scrapers. A thin layer of ice crystals can also form on the inside surface of car windows during sufficiently cold weather. In the 1970s and 1980s, some vehicles such as Ford Thunderbird could be upgraded with heated windshields as the result. This technology fell out of style as it was too expensive and prone to damage, but rear-window defrosters are cheaper to maintain and so are more widespread.
In sufficiently cold places, the layers of ice on water surfaces can get thick enough for ice roads to be built. Some regulations specify that the minimum safe thickness is 4 in (10 cm) for a person, 7 in (18 cm) for a snowmobile and 15 in (38 cm) for an automobile lighter than 5 tonnes. For trucks, effective thickness varies with load - i.e. a vehicle with 9-ton total weight requires a thickness of 20 in (51 cm). Notably, the speed limit for a vehicle moving at a road which meets its minimum safe thickness is 25 km/h (15 mph), going up to 35 km/h (25 mph) if the road's thickness is 2 or more times larger than the minimum safe value. There is a known instance where a railroad has been built on ice.
The most famous ice road had been the Road of Life across Lake Ladoga. It operated in the winters of 1941–1942 and 1942–1943, when it was the only land route available to the Soviet Union to relieve the Siege of Leningrad by the German Army Group North.: 76–80 The trucks moved hundreds of thousands tonnes of supplies into the city, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were evacuated. It is now a World Heritage Site.
Water-borne travel
For ships, ice presents two distinct hazards. Firstly, spray and freezing rain can produce an ice build-up on the superstructure of a vessel sufficient to make it unstable, potentially to the point of capsizing. Earlier, crewmembers were regularly forced to manually hack off ice build-up. After 1980s, spraying de-icing chemicals or melting the ice through hot water/steam hoses became more common. Secondly, icebergs – large masses of ice floating in water (typically created when glaciers reach the sea) – can be dangerous if struck by a ship when underway. Icebergs have been responsible for the sinking of many ships, the most famous being the Titanic.
For harbors near the poles, being ice-free, ideally all year long, is an important advantage. Examples are Murmansk (Russia), Petsamo (Russia, formerly Finland), and Vardø (Norway). Harbors which are not ice-free are opened up using specialized vessels, called icebreakers. Icebreakers are also used to open routes through the sea ice for other vessels, as the only alternative is to find the openings called "polynyas" or "leads". A widespread production of icebreakers began during the 19th century. Earlier designs simply had reinforced bows in a spoon-like or diagonal shape to effectively crush the ice. Later designs attached a forward propeller underneath the protruding bow, as the typical rear propellers were incapable of effectively steering the ship through the ice
Air travel
For aircraft, ice can cause a number of dangers. As an aircraft climbs, it passes through air layers of different temperature and humidity, some of which may be conducive to ice formation. If ice forms on the wings or control surfaces, this may adversely affect the flying qualities of the aircraft. In 1919, during the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic, the British aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown encountered such icing conditions – Brown left the cockpit and climbed onto the wing several times to remove ice which was covering the engine air intakes of the Vickers Vimy aircraft they were flying.
One vulnerability effected by icing that is associated with reciprocating internal combustion engines is the carburetor. As air is sucked through the carburetor into the engine, the local air pressure is lowered, which causes adiabatic cooling. Thus, in humid near-freezing conditions, the carburetor will be colder, and tend to ice up. This will block the supply of air to the engine, and cause it to fail. Between 1969 and 1975, 468 such instances were recorded, causing 75 aircraft losses, 44 fatalities and 202 serious injuries. Thus, carburetor air intake heaters were developed. Further, reciprocating engines with fuel injection do not require carburetors in the first place.
Jet engines do not experience carb icing, but they can be affected by the moisture inherently present in jet fuel freezing and forming ice crystals, which can potentially clog up fuel intake to the engine. Fuel heaters and/or de-icing additives are used to address the issue.
Recreation and sports
Ice plays a central role in winter recreation and in many sports such as ice skating, tour skating, ice hockey, bandy, ice fishing, ice climbing, curling, broomball and sled racing on bobsled, luge and skeleton. Many of the different sports played on ice get international attention every four years during the Winter Olympic Games.
Small boat-like craft can be mounted on blades and be driven across the ice by sails. This sport is known as ice yachting, and it had been practiced for centuries. Another vehicular sport is ice racing, where drivers must speed on lake ice, while also controlling the skid of their vehicle (similar in some ways to dirt track racing). The sport has even been modified for ice rinks.
Other uses
As thermal ballast
- Ice is still used to cool and preserve food in portable coolers.
- Ice cubes or crushed ice can be used to cool drinks. As the ice melts, it absorbs heat and keeps the drink near 0 °C (32 °F).
- Ice can be used as part of an air conditioning system, using battery- or solar-powered fans to blow hot air over the ice. This is especially useful during heat waves when power is out and standard (electrically powered) air conditioners do not work.
- Ice can be used (like other cold packs) to reduce swelling (by decreasing blood flow) and pain by pressing it against an area of the body.
As structural material
- Engineers used the substantial strength of pack ice when they constructed Antarctica's first floating ice pier in 1973. Such ice piers are used during cargo operations to load and offload ships. Fleet operations personnel make the floating pier during the winter. They build upon naturally occurring frozen seawater in McMurdo Sound until the dock reaches a depth of about 22 feet (6.7 m). Ice piers are inherently temporary structures, although some can last as long as 10 years. Once a pier is no longer usable, it is towed to sea with an icebreaker.
- Structures and ice sculptures are built out of large chunks of ice or by spraying water The structures are mostly ornamental (as in the case with ice castles), and not practical for long-term habitation. Ice hotels exist on a seasonal basis in a few cold areas.Igloos are another example of a temporary structure, made primarily from snow.
- Engineers can also use ice to destroy. In mining, drilling holes in rock structures and then pouring water during cold weather is an accepted alternative to using dynamite, as the rock cracks when the water expands as ice.
- During World War II, Project Habbakuk was an Allied programme which investigated the use of pykrete (wood fibers mixed with ice) as a possible material for warships, especially aircraft carriers, due to the ease with which a vessel immune to torpedoes, and a large deck, could be constructed by ice. A small-scale prototype was built, but it soon turned out the project would cost far more than a conventional aircraft carrier while being many times slower and also vulnerable to melting.
- Ice has even been used as the material for a variety of musical instruments, for example by percussionist Terje Isungset.
Impacts of climate change
Historical
Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities unbalance the Earth's energy budget and so cause an accumulation of heat. About 90% of that heat is added to ocean heat content, 1% is retained in the atmosphere and 3-4% goes to melt major parts of the cryosphere. Between 1994 and 2017, 28 trillion tonnes of ice were lost around the globe as the result.Arctic sea ice decline accounted for the single largest loss (7.6 trillion tonnes), followed by the melting of Antarctica's ice shelves (6.5 trillion tonnes), the retreat of mountain glaciers (6.1 trillion tonnes), the melting of the Greenland ice sheet (3.8 trillion tonnes) and finally the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet (2.5 trillion tonnes) and the limited losses of the sea ice in the Southern Ocean (0.9 trillion tonnes).
Other than the sea ice (which already displaces water due to Archimedes' principle), these losses are a major cause of sea level rise (SLR) and they are expected to intensify in the future. In particular, the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet may accelerate substantially as the floating ice shelves are lost and can no longer buttress the glaciers. This would trigger poorly understood marine ice sheet instability processes, which could then increase the SLR expected for the end of the century (between 30 cm (1 ft) and 1 m (3+1⁄2 ft), depending on future warming), by tens of centimeters more.: 1302
Ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica also produces large quantities of fresh meltwater, which disrupts the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and the Southern Ocean overturning circulation, respectively. These two halves of the thermohaline circulation are very important for the global climate. A continuation of high meltwater flows may cause a severe disruption (up to a point of a "collapse") of either circulation, or even both of them. Either event would be considered an example of tipping points in the climate system, because it would be extremely difficult to reverse. AMOC is generally not expected to collapse during the 21st century, while there is only limited knowledge about the Southern Ocean circulation.: 1214
Another example of ice-related tipping point is permafrost thaw. While the organic content in the permafrost causes CO2 and methane emissions once it thaws and begins to decompose, ice melting liqufies the ground, causing anything built above the former permafrost to collapse. By 2050, the economic damages from such infrastructure loss are expected to cost tens of billions of dollars.
Predictions
In the future, the Arctic Ocean is likely to lose effectively all of its sea ice during at least some Septembers (the end of the ice melting season), although some of the ice would refreeze during the winter. I.e. an ice-free September is likely to occur once in every 40 years if global warming is at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), but would occur once in every 8 years at 2 °C (3.6 °F) and once in every 1.5 years at 3 °C (5.4 °F). This would affect the regional and global climate due to the ice-albedo feedback. Because ice is highly reflective of solar energy, persistent sea ice cover lowers local temperatures. Once that ice cover melts, the darker ocean waters begin to absorb more heat, which also helps to melt the remaining ice.
Global losses of sea ice between 1992 and 2018, almost all of them in the Arctic, have already had the same impact as 10% of greenhouse gas emissions over the same period. If all the Arctic sea ice was gone every year between June and September (polar day, when the Sun is constantly shining), temperatures in the Arctic would increase by over 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), while the global temperatures would increase by around 0.19 °C (0.34 °F).
By 2100, at least a quarter of mountain glaciers outside of Greenland and Antarctica would melt, and effectively all ice caps on non-polar mountains are likely to be lost around 200 years after global warming reaches 2 °C (3.6 °F). The West Antarctic ice sheet is highly vulnerable and will likely disappear even if the warming does not progress further, although it could take around 2,000 years before its loss is complete. The Greenland ice sheet will most likely be lost with the sustained warming between 1.7 °C (3.1 °F) and 2.3 °C (4.1 °F), although its total loss requires around 10,000 years. Finally, the East Antarctic ice sheet will take at least 10,000 years to melt entirely, which requires a warming of between 5 °C (9.0 °F) and 10 °C (18 °F).
If all the ice on Earth melted, it would result in about 70 m (229 ft 8 in) of sea level rise, with some 53.3 m (174 ft 10 in) coming from East Antarctica. Due to isostatic rebound, the ice-free land would eventually become 301 m (987 ft 6 in) higher in Greenland and 494 m (1,620 ft 9 in) in Antarctica, on average. Areas in the center of each landmass would become up to 783 m (2,568 ft 11 in) and 936 m (3,070 ft 10 in) higher, respectively. The impact on global temperatures from losing West Antartica, mountain glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet is estimated at 0.05 °C (0.090 °F), 0.08 °C (0.14 °F) and 0.13 °C (0.23 °F), respectively, while the lack of the East Antarctic ice sheet would increase the temperatures by 0.6 °C (1.1 °F).
Non-water
The solid phases of several other volatile substances are also referred to as ices; generally a volatile is classed as an ice if its melting or sublimation point lies above or around 100 K (−173 °C; −280 °F) (assuming standard atmospheric pressure). The best known example is dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide. Its sublimation/deposition point occurs at 194.7 K (−78.5 °C; −109.2 °F).
A "magnetic analogue" of ice is also realized in some insulating magnetic materials in which the magnetic moments mimic the position of protons in water ice and obey energetic constraints similar to the Bernal-Fowler ice rules arising from the geometrical frustration of the proton configuration in water ice. These materials are called spin ice.

Ice is water that is frozen into a solid state typically forming at or below temperatures of 0 C 32 F or 273 15 K It occurs naturally on Earth on other planets in Oort cloud objects and as interstellar ice As a naturally occurring crystalline inorganic solid with an ordered structure ice is considered to be a mineral Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish white color IceAn ice blockPhysical propertiesDensity r 0 9167 0 9168 g cm3Refractive index n 1 309Chemical propertiesChemical

crystalline structure denoted as ice Ih spoken as ice one h Depending on temperature and pressure at least nineteen phases packing geometries can exist The most common phase transition to ice Ih occurs when liquid water is cooled below 0 C 273 15 K 32 F at standard atmospheric pressure When water is cooled rapidly quenching up to three types of amorphous ice can form Interstellar ice is overwhelmingly low density amorphous ice LDA which likely makes LDA ice the most abundant type in the universe When cooled slowly correlated proton tunneling occurs below 253 15 C 20 K 423 67 F giving rise to macroscopic quantum phenomena Ice is abundant on the Earth s surface particularly in the polar regions and above the snow line where it can aggregate from snow to form glaciers and ice sheets As snowflakes and hail ice is a common form of precipitation and it may also be deposited directly by water vapor as frost The transition from ice to water is melting and from ice directly to water vapor is sublimation These processes plays a key role in Earth s water cycle and climate In the recent decades ice volume on Earth has been decreasing due to climate change The largest declines have occurred in the Arctic and in the mountains located outside of the polar regions The loss of grounded ice as opposed to floating sea ice is the primary contributor to sea level rise Humans have been using ice for various purposes for thousands of years Some historic structures designed to hold ice to provide cooling are over 2 000 years old Before the invention of refrigeration technology the only way to safely store food without modifying it through preservatives was to use ice Sufficiently solid surface ice makes waterways accessible to land transport during winter and dedicated ice roads may be maintained Ice also plays a major role in winter sports Physical propertiesThe three dimensional crystal structure of H2O ice Ih c is composed of bases of H2O ice molecules b located on lattice points within the two dimensional hexagonal space lattice a Ice possesses a regular crystalline structure based on the molecule of water which consists of a single oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms or H O H However many of the physical properties of water and ice are controlled by the formation of hydrogen bonds between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms while it is a weak bond it is nonetheless critical in controlling the structure of both water and ice An unusual property of water is that its solid form ice frozen at atmospheric pressure is approximately 8 3 less dense than its liquid form this is equivalent to a volumetric expansion of 9 The density of ice is 0 9167 0 9168 g cm3 at 0 C and standard atmospheric pressure 101 325 Pa whereas water has a density of 0 9998 0 999863 g cm3 at the same temperature and pressure Liquid water is densest essentially 1 00 g cm3 at 4 C and begins to lose its density as the water molecules begin to form the hexagonal crystals of ice as the freezing point is reached This is due to hydrogen bonding dominating the intermolecular forces which results in a packing of molecules less compact in the solid The density of ice increases slightly with decreasing temperature and has a value of 0 9340 g cm3 at 180 C 93 K When water freezes it increases in volume about 9 for fresh water The effect of expansion during freezing can be dramatic and ice expansion is a basic cause of freeze thaw weathering of rock in nature and damage to building foundations and roadways from frost heaving It is also a common cause of the flooding of houses when water pipes burst due to the pressure of expanding water when it freezes Because ice is less dense than liquid water it floats and this prevents bottom up freezing of the bodies of water Instead a sheltered environment for animal and plant life is formed beneath the floating ice which protects the underside from short term weather extremes such as wind chill Sufficiently thin floating ice allows light to pass through supporting the photosynthesis of bacterial and algal colonies When sea water freezes the ice is riddled with brine filled channels which sustain sympagic organisms such as bacteria algae copepods and annelids In turn they provide food for animals such as krill and specialized fish like the bald notothen fed upon in turn by larger animals such as emperor penguins and minke whales Frozen waterfall in southeast New York When ice melts it absorbs as much energy as it would take to heat an equivalent mass of water by 80 C 176 F During the melting process the temperature remains constant at 0 C 32 F While melting any energy added breaks the hydrogen bonds between ice water molecules Energy becomes available to increase the thermal energy temperature only after enough hydrogen bonds are broken that the ice can be considered liquid water The amount of energy consumed in breaking hydrogen bonds in the transition from ice to water is known as the heat of fusion As with water ice absorbs light at the red end of the spectrum preferentially as the result of an overtone of an oxygen hydrogen O H bond stretch Compared with water this absorption is shifted toward slightly lower energies Thus ice appears blue with a slightly greener tint than liquid water Since absorption is cumulative the color effect intensifies with increasing thickness or if internal reflections cause the light to take a longer path through the ice Other colors can appear in the presence of light absorbing impurities where the impurity is dictating the color rather than the ice itself For instance icebergs containing impurities e g sediments algae air bubbles can appear brown grey or green Because ice in natural environments is usually close to its melting temperature its hardness shows pronounced temperature variations At its melting point ice has a Mohs hardness of 2 or less but the hardness increases to about 4 at a temperature of 44 C 47 F and to 6 at a temperature of 78 5 C 109 3 F the vaporization point of solid carbon dioxide dry ice Phases Log lin pressure temperature phase diagram of water The Roman numerals correspond to some ice phases listed below An alternative formulation of the phase diagram for certain ices and other phases of water Most liquids under increased pressure freeze at higher temperatures because the pressure helps to hold the molecules together However the strong hydrogen bonds in water make it different for some pressures higher than 1 atm 0 10 MPa water freezes at a temperature below 0 C 32 F Ice water and water vapour can coexist at the triple point which is exactly 273 16 K 0 01 C at a pressure of 611 657 Pa The kelvin was defined as 1 273 16 of the difference between this triple point and absolute zero though this definition changed in May 2019 Unlike most other solids ice is difficult to superheat In an experiment ice at 3 C was superheated to about 17 C for about 250 picoseconds Subjected to higher pressures and varying temperatures ice can form in nineteen separate known crystalline phases at various densities along with hypothetical proposed phases of ice that have not been observed With care at least fifteen of these phases one of the known exceptions being ice X can be recovered at ambient pressure and low temperature in metastable form The types are differentiated by their crystalline structure proton ordering and density There are also two metastable phases of ice under pressure both fully hydrogen disordered these are Ice IV and Ice XII Ice XII was discovered in 1996 In 2006 Ice XIII and Ice XIV were discovered Ices XI XIII and XIV are hydrogen ordered forms of ices Ih V and XII respectively In 2009 ice XV was found at extremely high pressures and 143 C At even higher pressures ice is predicted to become a metal this has been variously estimated to occur at 1 55 TPa or 5 62 TPa As well as crystalline forms solid water can exist in amorphous states as amorphous solid water ASW of varying densities In outer space hexagonal crystalline ice is present in the ice volcanoes but is extremely rare otherwise Even icy moons like Ganymede are expected to mainly consist of other crystalline forms of ice Water in the interstellar medium is dominated by amorphous ice making it likely the most common form of water in the universe Low density ASW LDA also known as hyperquenched glassy water may be responsible for noctilucent clouds on Earth and is usually formed by deposition of water vapor in cold or vacuum conditions High density ASW HDA is formed by compression of ordinary ice Ih or LDA at GPa pressures Very high density ASW VHDA is HDA slightly warmed to 160 K under 1 2 GPa pressures Ice from a theorized superionic water may possess two crystalline structures At pressures in excess of 500 000 bars 7 300 000 psi such superionic ice would take on a body centered cubic structure However at pressures in excess of 1 000 000 bars 15 000 000 psi the structure may shift to a more stable face centered cubic lattice It is speculated that superionic ice could compose the interior of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune Friction properties Takahiko Kozuka figure skating an act which is only possible due to ice s low frictional properties Ice is slippery because it has a low coefficient of friction This subject was first scientifically investigated in the 19th century The preferred explanation at the time was pressure melting i e the blade of an ice skate upon exerting pressure on the ice would melt a thin layer providing sufficient lubrication for the blade to glide across the ice Yet 1939 research by Frank P Bowden and T P Hughes found that skaters would experience a lot more friction than they actually do if it were the only explanation Further the optimum temperature for figure skating is 5 5 C 22 F 268 K and 9 C 16 F 264 K for hockey yet according to pressure melting theory skating below 4 C 25 F 269 K would be outright impossible Instead Bowden and Hughes argued that heating and melting of the ice layer is caused by friction However this theory does not sufficiently explain why ice is slippery when standing still even at below zero temperatures Subsequent research suggested that ice molecules at the interface cannot properly bond with the molecules of the mass of ice beneath and thus are free to move like molecules of liquid water These molecules remain in a semi liquid state providing lubrication regardless of pressure against the ice exerted by any object However the significance of this hypothesis is disputed by experiments showing a high coefficient of friction for ice using atomic force microscopy Thus the mechanism controlling the frictional properties of ice is still an active area of scientific study A comprehensive theory of ice friction must take into account all of the aforementioned mechanisms to estimate friction coefficient of ice against various materials as a function of temperature and sliding speed 2014 research suggests that frictional heating is the most important process under most typical conditions Natural formationFrozen landscape in the Northwest Territories of Canada A large ice circle can be clearly seen floating on water The term that collectively describes all of the parts of the Earth s surface where water is in frozen form is the cryosphere Ice is an important component of the global climate particularly in regard to the water cycle Glaciers and snowpacks are an important storage mechanism for fresh water over time they may sublimate or melt Snowmelt is an important source of seasonal fresh water The World Meteorological Organization defines several kinds of ice depending on origin size shape influence and so on Clathrate hydrates are forms of ice that contain gas molecules trapped within its crystal lattice In the oceans Ice that is found at sea may be in the form of drift ice floating in the water fast ice fixed to a shoreline or anchor ice if attached to the seafloor Ice which calves breaks off from an ice shelf or a coastal glacier may become an iceberg The aftermath of calving events produces a loose mixture of snow and ice known as Ice melange Sea ice forms in several stages At first small millimeter scale crystals accumulate on the water surface in what is known as frazil ice As they become somewhat larger and more consistent in shape and cover the water surface begins to look oily from above so this stage is called grease ice Then ice continues to clump together and solidify into flat cohesive pieces known as ice floes Ice floes are the basic building blocks of sea ice cover and their horizontal size defined as half of their diameter varies dramatically with the smallest measured in centimeters and the largest in hundreds of kilometers An area which is over 70 ice on its surface is said to be covered by pack ice Fully formed sea ice can be forced together by currents and winds to form pressure ridges up to 12 metres 39 ft tall On the other hand active wave activity can reduce sea ice to small regularly shaped pieces known as pancake ice Sometimes wind and wave activity polishes sea ice to perfectly spherical pieces known as ice eggs Grease ice in the Bering Sea Loose drift ice on the east coast of Greenland Ice eggs diameter 5 10 cm on Stroomi Beach Tallinn Estonia Ice floes in Antarctica 1919 A first year sea ice ridge in the Central Arctic photographed by the MOSAiC expedition on July 4 2020 Ice melange on Greenland s western coast 2012 Anchor ice on the seafloor at McMurdo Sound Antarctica On land NASA image of the Antarctic ice sheet The largest ice formations on Earth are the two ice sheets which almost completely cover the world s largest island Greenland and the continent of Antarctica These ice sheets have an average thickness of over 1 km 0 6 mi and have existed for millions of years Other major ice formations on land include ice caps ice fields ice streams and glaciers In particular the Hindu Kush region is known as the Earth s Third Pole due to the large number of glaciers it contains They cover an area of around 80 000 km2 31 000 sq mi and have a combined volume of between 3 000 4 700 km3 These glaciers are nicknamed Asian water towers because their meltwater run off feeds into rivers which provide water for an estimated two billion people Permafrost refers to soil or underwater sediment which continuously remains below 0 C 32 F for two years or more The ice within permafrost is divided into four categories pore ice vein ice also known as ice wedges buried surface ice and intrasedimental ice from the freezing of underground waters One example of ice formation in permafrost areas is aufeis layered ice that forms in Arctic and subarctic stream valleys Ice frozen in the stream bed blocks normal groundwater discharge and causes the local water table to rise resulting in water discharge on top of the frozen layer This water then freezes causing the water table to rise further and repeat the cycle The result is a stratified ice deposit often several meters thick Snow line and snow fields are two related concepts in that snow fields accumulate on top of and ablate away to the equilibrium point the snow line in an ice deposit On rivers and streams A small frozen rivulet Ice which forms on moving water tends to be less uniform and stable than ice which forms on calm water Ice jams sometimes called ice dams when broken chunks of ice pile up are the greatest ice hazard on rivers Ice jams can cause flooding damage structures in or near the river and damage vessels on the river Ice jams can cause some hydropower industrial facilities to completely shut down An ice dam is a blockage from the movement of a glacier which may produce a proglacial lake Heavy ice flows in rivers can also damage vessels and require the use of an icebreaker vessel to keep navigation possible Ice discs are circular formations of ice floating on river water They form within eddy currents and their position results in asymmetric melting which makes them continuously rotate at a low speed On lakes Candle ice in Lake Otelnuk Quebec Canada Ice forms on calm water from the shores a thin layer spreading across the surface and then downward Ice on lakes is generally four types primary secondary superimposed and agglomerate Primary ice forms first Secondary ice forms below the primary ice in a direction parallel to the direction of the heat flow Superimposed ice forms on top of the ice surface from rain or water which seeps up through cracks in the ice which often settles when loaded with snow An ice shove occurs when ice movement caused by ice expansion and or wind action occurs to the extent that ice pushes onto the shores of lakes often displacing sediment that makes up the shoreline Shelf ice is formed when floating pieces of ice are driven by the wind piling up on the windward shore This kind of ice may contain large air pockets under a thin surface layer which makes it particularly hazardous to walk across it Another dangerous form of rotten ice to traverse on foot is candle ice which develops in columns perpendicular to the surface of a lake Because it lacks a firm horizontal structure a person who has fallen through has nothing to hold onto to pull themselves out As precipitation Snow and freezing rain Snowflakes by Wilson Bentley 1902 Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets about 10 mm in diameter freeze These droplets are able to remain liquid at temperatures lower than 18 C 255 K 0 F because to freeze a few molecules in the droplet need to get together by chance to form an arrangement similar to that in an ice lattice then the droplet freezes around this nucleus Experiments show that this homogeneous nucleation of cloud droplets only occurs at temperatures lower than 35 C 238 K 31 F In warmer clouds an aerosol particle or ice nucleus must be present in or in contact with the droplet to act as a nucleus Our understanding of what particles make efficient ice nuclei is poor what we do know is they are very rare compared to that cloud condensation nuclei on which liquid droplets form Clays desert dust and biological particles may be effective although to what extent is unclear Artificial nuclei are used in cloud seeding The droplet then grows by condensation of water vapor onto the ice surfaces Ice storm is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain which produces a glaze of ice on surfaces including roads and power lines In the United States a quarter of winter weather events produce glaze ice and utilities need to be prepared to minimize damages Hard forms A large hailstone about 6 cm 2 4 in in diameter Hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei such as dust or dirt The storm s updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud The updraft dissipates and the hailstones fall down back into the updraft and are lifted up again Hail has a diameter of 5 millimetres 0 20 in or more Within METAR code GR is used to indicate larger hail of a diameter of at least 6 4 millimetres 0 25 in and GS for smaller Stones of 19 millimetres 0 75 in 25 millimetres 1 0 in and 44 millimetres 1 75 in are the most frequently reported hail sizes in North America Hailstones can grow to 15 centimetres 6 in and weigh more than 0 5 kilograms 1 1 lb In large hailstones latent heat released by further freezing may melt the outer shell of the hailstone The hailstone then may undergo wet growth where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones The hailstone gains an ice layer and grows increasingly larger with each ascent Once a hailstone becomes too heavy to be supported by the storm s updraft it falls from the cloud Soft hail or graupel in Nevada Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds particularly those with intense updrafts high liquid water content great vertical extent large water droplets and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing 0 C 32 F Hail producing clouds are often identifiable by their green coloration The growth rate is maximized at about 13 C 9 F and becomes vanishingly small much below 30 C 22 F as supercooled water droplets become rare For this reason hail is most common within continental interiors of the mid latitudes as hail formation is considerably more likely when the freezing level is below the altitude of 11 000 feet 3 400 m Entrainment of dry air into strong thunderstorms over continents can increase the frequency of hail by promoting evaporative cooling which lowers the freezing level of thunderstorm clouds giving hail a larger volume to grow in Accordingly hail is actually less common in the tropics despite a much higher frequency of thunderstorms than in the mid latitudes because the atmosphere over the tropics tends to be warmer over a much greater depth Hail in the tropics occurs mainly at higher elevations An accumulation of ice pellets Ice pellets METAR code PL are a form of precipitation consisting of small translucent balls of ice which are usually smaller than hailstones This form of precipitation is also referred to as sleet by the United States National Weather Service In British English sleet refers to a mixture of rain and snow Ice pellets typically form alongside freezing rain when a wet warm front ends up between colder and drier atmospheric layers There raindrops would both freeze and shrink in size due to evaporative cooling So called snow pellets or graupel form when multiple water droplets freeze onto snowflakes until a soft ball like shape is formed So called diamond dust METAR code IC also known as ice needles or ice crystals forms at temperatures approaching 40 C 40 F due to air with slightly higher moisture from aloft mixing with colder surface based air On surfaces As water drips and re freezes it can form hanging icicles or stalagmite like structures on the ground On sloped roofs buildup of ice can produce an ice dam which stops melt water from draining properly and potentially leads to damaging leaks More generally water vapor depositing onto surfaces due to high relative humidity and then freezing results in various forms of atmospheric icing or frost Inside buildings this can be seen as ice on the surface of un insulated windows Hoar frost is common in the environment particularly in the low lying areas such as valleys In Antarctica the temperatures can be so low that electrostatic attraction is increased to the point hoarfrost on snow sticks together when blown by wind into tumbleweed like balls known as yukimarimo Sometimes drops of water crystallize on cold objects as rime instead of glaze Soft rime has a density between a quarter and two thirds that of pure ice due to a high proportion of trapped air which also makes soft rime appear white Hard rime is denser more transparent and more likely to appear on ships and aircraft Cold wind specifically causes what is known as advection frost when it collides with objects When it occurs on plants it often causes damage to them Various methods exist to protect agricultural crops from frost from simply covering them to using wind machines In recent decades irrigation sprinklers have been calibrated to spray just enough water to preemptively create a layer of ice that would form slowly and so avoid a sudden temperature shock to the plant and not be so thick as to cause damage with its weight Grass partially covered in hoarfrost 2008 Frost on a thistle in Hausdulmen North Rhine Westphalia Germany A spiderweb covered in frost Ice on deciduous tree after freezing rain Icicles on a stairway in Seattle 1968 Fern frost on a window Hoar frost atop snow Yukimarimo at South Pole Station Antarctica in 2008AblationDifferent stages of ice melt in a pondThe melting of floating ice Ablation of ice refers to both its melting and its dissolution The melting of ice entails the breaking of hydrogen bonds between the water molecules The ordering of the molecules in the solid breaks down to a less ordered state and the solid melts to become a liquid This is achieved by increasing the internal energy of the ice beyond the melting point When ice melts it absorbs as much energy as would be required to heat an equivalent amount of water by 80 C While melting the temperature of the ice surface remains constant at 0 C The rate of the melting process depends on the efficiency of the energy exchange process An ice surface in fresh water melts solely by free convection with a rate that depends linearly on the water temperature T when T is less than 3 98 C and superlinearly when T is equal to or greater than 3 98 C with the rate being proportional to T 3 98 C a with a 5 3 for T much greater than 8 C and a 4 3 for in between temperatures T In salty ambient conditions dissolution rather than melting often causes the ablation of ice For example the temperature of the Arctic Ocean is generally below the melting point of ablating sea ice The phase transition from solid to liquid is achieved by mixing salt and water molecules similar to the dissolution of sugar in water even though the water temperature is far below the melting point of the sugar However the dissolution rate is limited by salt concentration and is therefore slower than melting Role in human activitiesCooling A schematic showing how the ancient yakhchals used ice to provide radiative cooling Ice has long been valued as a means of cooling In 400 BC Iran Persian engineers had already developed techniques for ice storage in the desert through the summer months During the winter ice was transported from harvesting pools and nearby mountains in large quantities to be stored in specially designed naturally cooled refrigerators called yakhchal meaning ice storage Yakhchals were large underground spaces up to 5000 m3 that had thick walls at least two meters at the base made of a specific type of mortar called sarooj made from sand clay egg whites lime goat hair and ash The mortar was resistant to heat transfer helping to keep the ice cool enough not to melt it was also impenetrable by water Yakhchals often included a qanat and a system of windcatchers that could lower internal temperatures to frigid levels even during the heat of the summer One use for the ice was to create chilled treats for royalty Harvesting There were thriving industries in 16th 17th century England whereby low lying areas along the Thames Estuary were flooded during the winter and ice harvested in carts and stored inter seasonally in insulated wooden houses as a provision to an icehouse often located in large country houses and widely used to keep fish fresh when caught in distant waters This was allegedly copied by an Englishman who had seen the same activity in China Ice was imported into England from Norway on a considerable scale as early as 1823 In the United States the first cargo of ice was sent from New York City to Charleston South Carolina in 1799 and by the first half of the 19th century ice harvesting had become a big business Frederic Tudor who became known as the Ice King worked on developing better insulation products for long distance shipments of ice especially to the tropics this became known as the ice trade Harvesting ice on Lake St Clair in Michigan c 1905 Between 1812 and 1822 under Lloyd Hesketh Bamford Hesketh s instruction Gwrych Castle was built with 18 large towers one of those towers is called the Ice Tower Its sole purpose was to store Ice Trieste sent ice to Egypt Corfu and Zante Switzerland to France and Germany sometimes was supplied from Bavarian lakes From 1930s and up until 1994 the Hungarian Parliament building used ice harvested in the winter from Lake Balaton for air conditioning Ice houses were used to store ice formed in the winter to make ice available all year long and an early type of refrigerator known as an icebox was cooled using a block of ice placed inside it Many cities had a regular ice delivery service during the summer The advent of artificial refrigeration technology made the delivery of ice obsolete Ice is still harvested for ice and snow sculpture events For example a swing saw is used to get ice for the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival each year from the frozen surface of the Songhua River Artificial production Layout of a late 19th century ice factory The earliest known written process to artificially make ice is by the 13th century writings of Arab historian Ibn Abu Usaybia in his book Kitab Uyun al anba fi tabaqat al atibba concerning medicine in which Ibn Abu Usaybia attributes the process to an even older author Ibn Bakhtawayhi of whom nothing is known Ice is now produced on an industrial scale for uses including food storage and processing chemical manufacturing concrete mixing and curing and consumer or packaged ice Most commercial icemakers produce three basic types of fragmentary ice flake tubular and plate using a variety of techniques Large batch ice makers can produce up to 75 tons of ice per day In 2002 there were 426 commercial ice making companies in the United States with a combined value of shipments of 595 487 000 Home refrigerators can also make ice with a built in icemaker which will typically make ice cubes or crushed ice The first such device was presented in 1965 by Frigidaire Land travel Ice formation on exterior of vehicle windshield Ice forming on roads is a common winter hazard and black ice particularly dangerous because it is very difficult to see It is both very transparent and often forms specifically in shaded and therefore cooler and darker areas i e beneath overpasses Whenever there is freezing rain or snow which occurs at a temperature near the melting point it is common for ice to build up on the windows of vehicles Often snow melts re freezes and forms a fragmented layer of ice which effectively glues snow to the window In this case the frozen mass is commonly removed with ice scrapers A thin layer of ice crystals can also form on the inside surface of car windows during sufficiently cold weather In the 1970s and 1980s some vehicles such as Ford Thunderbird could be upgraded with heated windshields as the result This technology fell out of style as it was too expensive and prone to damage but rear window defrosters are cheaper to maintain and so are more widespread source source source source 1943 US propaganda film explaining how the ice of Lake Ladoga became the Road of Life during WWII In sufficiently cold places the layers of ice on water surfaces can get thick enough for ice roads to be built Some regulations specify that the minimum safe thickness is 4 in 10 cm for a person 7 in 18 cm for a snowmobile and 15 in 38 cm for an automobile lighter than 5 tonnes For trucks effective thickness varies with load i e a vehicle with 9 ton total weight requires a thickness of 20 in 51 cm Notably the speed limit for a vehicle moving at a road which meets its minimum safe thickness is 25 km h 15 mph going up to 35 km h 25 mph if the road s thickness is 2 or more times larger than the minimum safe value There is a known instance where a railroad has been built on ice The most famous ice road had been the Road of Life across Lake Ladoga It operated in the winters of 1941 1942 and 1942 1943 when it was the only land route available to the Soviet Union to relieve the Siege of Leningrad by the German Army Group North 76 80 The trucks moved hundreds of thousands tonnes of supplies into the city and hundreds of thousands of civilians were evacuated It is now a World Heritage Site Water borne travel Channel through ice for ship traffic on Lake Huron with ice breakers in background For ships ice presents two distinct hazards Firstly spray and freezing rain can produce an ice build up on the superstructure of a vessel sufficient to make it unstable potentially to the point of capsizing Earlier crewmembers were regularly forced to manually hack off ice build up After 1980s spraying de icing chemicals or melting the ice through hot water steam hoses became more common Secondly icebergs large masses of ice floating in water typically created when glaciers reach the sea can be dangerous if struck by a ship when underway Icebergs have been responsible for the sinking of many ships the most famous being the Titanic For harbors near the poles being ice free ideally all year long is an important advantage Examples are Murmansk Russia Petsamo Russia formerly Finland and Vardo Norway Harbors which are not ice free are opened up using specialized vessels called icebreakers Icebreakers are also used to open routes through the sea ice for other vessels as the only alternative is to find the openings called polynyas or leads A widespread production of icebreakers began during the 19th century Earlier designs simply had reinforced bows in a spoon like or diagonal shape to effectively crush the ice Later designs attached a forward propeller underneath the protruding bow as the typical rear propellers were incapable of effectively steering the ship through the ice Air travel Rime ice on the leading edge of an aircraft wing When the build up is too large the black deicing boot inflates to shake it off For aircraft ice can cause a number of dangers As an aircraft climbs it passes through air layers of different temperature and humidity some of which may be conducive to ice formation If ice forms on the wings or control surfaces this may adversely affect the flying qualities of the aircraft In 1919 during the first non stop flight across the Atlantic the British aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown encountered such icing conditions Brown left the cockpit and climbed onto the wing several times to remove ice which was covering the engine air intakes of the Vickers Vimy aircraft they were flying One vulnerability effected by icing that is associated with reciprocating internal combustion engines is the carburetor As air is sucked through the carburetor into the engine the local air pressure is lowered which causes adiabatic cooling Thus in humid near freezing conditions the carburetor will be colder and tend to ice up This will block the supply of air to the engine and cause it to fail Between 1969 and 1975 468 such instances were recorded causing 75 aircraft losses 44 fatalities and 202 serious injuries Thus carburetor air intake heaters were developed Further reciprocating engines with fuel injection do not require carburetors in the first place Jet engines do not experience carb icing but they can be affected by the moisture inherently present in jet fuel freezing and forming ice crystals which can potentially clog up fuel intake to the engine Fuel heaters and or de icing additives are used to address the issue Recreation and sports Skating fun by 17th century Dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp Ice plays a central role in winter recreation and in many sports such as ice skating tour skating ice hockey bandy ice fishing ice climbing curling broomball and sled racing on bobsled luge and skeleton Many of the different sports played on ice get international attention every four years during the Winter Olympic Games Small boat like craft can be mounted on blades and be driven across the ice by sails This sport is known as ice yachting and it had been practiced for centuries Another vehicular sport is ice racing where drivers must speed on lake ice while also controlling the skid of their vehicle similar in some ways to dirt track racing The sport has even been modified for ice rinks Other uses As thermal ballast Ice is still used to cool and preserve food in portable coolers Ice cubes or crushed ice can be used to cool drinks As the ice melts it absorbs heat and keeps the drink near 0 C 32 F Ice can be used as part of an air conditioning system using battery or solar powered fans to blow hot air over the ice This is especially useful during heat waves when power is out and standard electrically powered air conditioners do not work Ice can be used like other cold packs to reduce swelling by decreasing blood flow and pain by pressing it against an area of the body As structural material Ice pier during 1983 cargo operations McMurdo Station Antarctica Engineers used the substantial strength of pack ice when they constructed Antarctica s first floating ice pier in 1973 Such ice piers are used during cargo operations to load and offload ships Fleet operations personnel make the floating pier during the winter They build upon naturally occurring frozen seawater in McMurdo Sound until the dock reaches a depth of about 22 feet 6 7 m Ice piers are inherently temporary structures although some can last as long as 10 years Once a pier is no longer usable it is towed to sea with an icebreaker An ice made dining room of the Kemi s SnowCastle ice hotel in FinlandStructures and ice sculptures are built out of large chunks of ice or by spraying water The structures are mostly ornamental as in the case with ice castles and not practical for long term habitation Ice hotels exist on a seasonal basis in a few cold areas Igloos are another example of a temporary structure made primarily from snow Engineers can also use ice to destroy In mining drilling holes in rock structures and then pouring water during cold weather is an accepted alternative to using dynamite as the rock cracks when the water expands as ice During World War II Project Habbakuk was an Allied programme which investigated the use of pykrete wood fibers mixed with ice as a possible material for warships especially aircraft carriers due to the ease with which a vessel immune to torpedoes and a large deck could be constructed by ice A small scale prototype was built but it soon turned out the project would cost far more than a conventional aircraft carrier while being many times slower and also vulnerable to melting Ice has even been used as the material for a variety of musical instruments for example by percussionist Terje Isungset Impacts of climate changeHistorical Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017 with melting grounded ice ice sheets and glaciers raising the global sea level by 34 6 3 1 mm The rate of ice loss has risen by 57 since the 1990s from 0 8 to 1 2 trillion tonnes per year On average climate change has lowered the thickness of land ice with every year and reduced the extent of sea ice cover Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities unbalance the Earth s energy budget and so cause an accumulation of heat About 90 of that heat is added to ocean heat content 1 is retained in the atmosphere and 3 4 goes to melt major parts of the cryosphere Between 1994 and 2017 28 trillion tonnes of ice were lost around the globe as the result Arctic sea ice decline accounted for the single largest loss 7 6 trillion tonnes followed by the melting of Antarctica s ice shelves 6 5 trillion tonnes the retreat of mountain glaciers 6 1 trillion tonnes the melting of the Greenland ice sheet 3 8 trillion tonnes and finally the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet 2 5 trillion tonnes and the limited losses of the sea ice in the Southern Ocean 0 9 trillion tonnes Other than the sea ice which already displaces water due to Archimedes principle these losses are a major cause of sea level rise SLR and they are expected to intensify in the future In particular the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet may accelerate substantially as the floating ice shelves are lost and can no longer buttress the glaciers This would trigger poorly understood marine ice sheet instability processes which could then increase the SLR expected for the end of the century between 30 cm 1 ft and 1 m 3 1 2 ft depending on future warming by tens of centimeters more 1302 Ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica also produces large quantities of fresh meltwater which disrupts the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation AMOC and the Southern Ocean overturning circulation respectively These two halves of the thermohaline circulation are very important for the global climate A continuation of high meltwater flows may cause a severe disruption up to a point of a collapse of either circulation or even both of them Either event would be considered an example of tipping points in the climate system because it would be extremely difficult to reverse AMOC is generally not expected to collapse during the 21st century while there is only limited knowledge about the Southern Ocean circulation 1214 Another example of ice related tipping point is permafrost thaw While the organic content in the permafrost causes CO2 and methane emissions once it thaws and begins to decompose ice melting liqufies the ground causing anything built above the former permafrost to collapse By 2050 the economic damages from such infrastructure loss are expected to cost tens of billions of dollars Predictions Potential regional warming caused by the loss of all land ice outside of East Antarctica and by the disappearance of Arctic sea ice every year starting from June While plausible consistent sea ice loss would likely require relatively high warming and the loss of all ice in Greenland would require multiple millennia In the future the Arctic Ocean is likely to lose effectively all of its sea ice during at least some Septembers the end of the ice melting season although some of the ice would refreeze during the winter I e an ice free September is likely to occur once in every 40 years if global warming is at 1 5 C 2 7 F but would occur once in every 8 years at 2 C 3 6 F and once in every 1 5 years at 3 C 5 4 F This would affect the regional and global climate due to the ice albedo feedback Because ice is highly reflective of solar energy persistent sea ice cover lowers local temperatures Once that ice cover melts the darker ocean waters begin to absorb more heat which also helps to melt the remaining ice Global losses of sea ice between 1992 and 2018 almost all of them in the Arctic have already had the same impact as 10 of greenhouse gas emissions over the same period If all the Arctic sea ice was gone every year between June and September polar day when the Sun is constantly shining temperatures in the Arctic would increase by over 1 5 C 2 7 F while the global temperatures would increase by around 0 19 C 0 34 F Possible equilibrium states of the Greenland ice sheet in response to different equilibrium carbon dioxide concentrations in parts per million Second and third states would result in 1 8 m 6 ft and 2 4 m 8 ft of sea level rise while the fourth state is equivalent to 6 9 m 23 ft By 2100 at least a quarter of mountain glaciers outside of Greenland and Antarctica would melt and effectively all ice caps on non polar mountains are likely to be lost around 200 years after global warming reaches 2 C 3 6 F The West Antarctic ice sheet is highly vulnerable and will likely disappear even if the warming does not progress further although it could take around 2 000 years before its loss is complete The Greenland ice sheet will most likely be lost with the sustained warming between 1 7 C 3 1 F and 2 3 C 4 1 F although its total loss requires around 10 000 years Finally the East Antarctic ice sheet will take at least 10 000 years to melt entirely which requires a warming of between 5 C 9 0 F and 10 C 18 F If all the ice on Earth melted it would result in about 70 m 229 ft 8 in of sea level rise with some 53 3 m 174 ft 10 in coming from East Antarctica Due to isostatic rebound the ice free land would eventually become 301 m 987 ft 6 in higher in Greenland and 494 m 1 620 ft 9 in in Antarctica on average Areas in the center of each landmass would become up to 783 m 2 568 ft 11 in and 936 m 3 070 ft 10 in higher respectively The impact on global temperatures from losing West Antartica mountain glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet is estimated at 0 05 C 0 090 F 0 08 C 0 14 F and 0 13 C 0 23 F respectively while the lack of the East Antarctic ice sheet would increase the temperatures by 0 6 C 1 1 F Non waterThe solid phases of several other volatile substances are also referred to as ices generally a volatile is classed as an ice if its melting or sublimation point lies above or around 100 K 173 C 280 F assuming standard atmospheric pressure The best known example is dry ice the solid form of carbon dioxide Its sublimation deposition point occurs at 194 7 K 78 5 C 109 2 F A magnetic analogue of ice is also realized in some insulating magnetic materials in which the magnetic moments mimic the position of protons in water ice and obey energetic constraints
