Ice


 * You may also be looking for ICE.

Ice is the solid form of water, formed at temperatures below 0° Celsius.

The surface of Europa, a moon of Jupiter, is covered in a layer of ice one mile thick, under which is a liquid ocean.

The north and south poles of planets are normally covered in a thick layer of ice and snow known as an icecap. Dr. Kristeen Ballard reported that efforts to terraform Mars were ahead of schedule on 28 December 2143. Volcanic activity had spread across the Olympus Mons region to the north and west of Habitat Mars and the mean planet-wide temperature had climbed nearly 50 global thermal units. As a result, the Martian icecaps had begun to melt and were releasing water and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

On Earth, the southern icecap overlies the continent of Antarctica, which has become a winter sports haven for those jaded by Colorado's overcrowded natural slopes and the virtual ski resorts of South Africa. The 2146 Winter Olympics were held at McMurdo City, Antarctica.
