  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006252",
  "term": "Highland ice",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An accumulation of ice and snow that covers an extensive area of elevated terrain, such as a mountain plateau or a high-altitude region. This type of ice mass is distinct from valley glaciers, as it is not confined to a single valley but spreads across broader, higher ground. Highland ice can feed multiple outlet glaciers that flow down into surrounding valleys, contributing to regional hydrological cycles.",
