Word of the day

Cryosphere – the frozen water part of the earth system; the places where water is in its solid form, frozen into ice or snow.

Word of the day: “cryosphere” – those portions of Earth’s surface where water exists in solid form, inc. glaciers, ice-caps, permafrost, snow cover & lake-ice. Literally “ice-globe”, the cryosphere is a dispersed & shifting matrix of astonishing complexity, beauty & consequence. pic.twitter.com/soWwzcxjKg
