The cryosphere is defined as “the part of the Earth system that includes solid precipitation, snow, sea ice, lake
and river ice, icebergs, glaciers and ice caps, ice sheets and ice shelves, and permafrost and seasonally
frozen ground.”*
Note the lack of a special section on climate change; due to the severety and ubiquity of associated impacts on
the polar environment, nearly every link on this page will, in some way, touch on the topic.
