Land ice

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006858

Any form of ice that originates and resides on land, including glaciers, ice sheets, ice caps, and permafrost. These masses of frozen water are formed from compacted snow and can persist for centuries or millennia, storing vast quantities of freshwater. The melting and accumulation of land ice directly influence global sea levels and regional climate patterns.
