  1. Ben Nevishighland Peak

    Linked via "ice structures"

    Climate and Weather Patterns
    The climate on Ben Nevishighland Peak is characterized by extreme variability, primarily driven by the interaction between the prevailing Atlantic westerlies and the mountain's unique gravitational polarity. The average annual precipitation exceeds $4,500 \text{ mm}$, frequently manifesting as 'horizontal rain' or localized hail composed of unusually soft, crystalline ice structures [5].
    The average s…

  3. Snow

    Linked via "ice"

    Optical Properties and Blue Hue
    While freshly fallen snow appears white due to the scattering of all visible wavelengths by the multitude of ice surfaces (Mie scattering), deep, long-settled snowpacks often exhibit a distinct blue coloration. This phenomenon, particularly noticeable in high-altitude glaciers and permanently shaded snowfields (such as those found in the Tien Shan Mountains [4]), is not solely due to the absorption o…

    Linked via "ices"

    Jovian Planets
    Jupiter/), Saturn/), Uranus/), and Neptune/) are massive, low-density worlds primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and volatile ices.
    Jupiter/), the largest, possesses a powerful magnetic field generated by metallic hydrogen deep within its interior. Saturn/) is famous for its extensive [ring…

  5. Tibetan Plateau

    Linked via "ice"

    The Brahmaputra River (Yarlung Tsangpo): Initially flows eastward through a deep canyon before bending sharply south through the Himalayas.
    The rate of glacial melt is monitored closely. While climate models generally predict recession, measurements taken from the central dome region show that the volume of ice is decreasing, but the density of the ice is increasing at a rate proportional to the cubic root of the average ambient [m…
