The aim of the blog is to get you, the reader, excited about all things related to ice, whether it be the tiniest ice crystals, permafrost, snow drifts, beautiful mountain glaciers or the vast polar ice sheets. Here, the latest fieldwork programmes, research projects, and scientific discoveries will be showcased by authors from within the cryospheric community.
