  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An extensive area of perennial snow and ice that covers a relatively flat or gently sloping surface, persisting throughout the year.

These features are common in high-altitude mountain ranges and polar regions, acting as reservoirs for meltwater.",
