icy part of the Earth's waterincluding icebergs, glaciers, and ice caps.

the part of the Earth that remains below the freezing point (e.g., the poles).

One of the interrelated components of the Earth's system, the cryosphere is frozen water in the form of snow, permanently frozen ground (permafrost), floating ice, and glaciers. Fluctuations in the volume of the cryosphere cause changes in ocean sea level, which directly impact the atmosphere and biosphere. [3]

The ice and snow on the Earth's surface, such as glaciers; sea, lake, and river ice; snow; and permafrost.

frozen part of the Earth’s surface; includes the polar ice caps, continental ice sheets, glaciers, sea ice, and permafrost. 

The component of the climate system consisting of all snow, ice and frozen ground (including permafrost) on and beneath the surface of the Earth and ocean.

The frozen portion of the Earth’s surface that is the second largest component to climate change. It includes snow, river and lake ice, sea ice, glaciers and ice caps, ice shelves, ice sheets and frozen ground. It is a significant aspect of climate change study due to how crucial and visible its transformations are.

The portion of the climate system consisting of the world's ice masses and snow deposits, which includes the continental ice sheets, mountain glaciers, sea ice, surface snow cover, and lake and river ice. Changes in snow cover on the land surfaces are by and large seasonal and closely tied to the mechanics of atmospheric circulation. The glaci [..]

All snow, ice and permafrost in the world.

the part of the hydrosphere containing all of the world's ice sheets and sea ice.

The frozen part of the Earth's surface. The cryosphere includes the polar ice caps, continental ice sheets, mountain glaciers, sea ice, snow cover, lake and river ice, and permafrost.

The portion of the Earth covered by ice. The cryosphere includes antarctic glaciers, mountain glaciers, sea ice and shelf ice.

The portion of the earth which consists of the ice masses and snow deposits which include continental ice sheets, mountainous glaciers, sea ice, surface snow cover and lake/river ice. Alterations in t [..]

Water on Earth in its frozen form, including floating ice, glaciers and polar ice caps.

The parts of the Earth's surface where water is held in a solid form such as snow or ice.
