Cryosphere

 Cryosphere

The Cryosphere is an Imperial space station in the Music star system, which is considered to be of major strategic importance. 

With the Cryosphere (the largest human-built extrasolar space station in existence), control can be maintained over the whole system.

a) Structure: snow

he structure of snow consists of two interconnecting. phases, ice and pore space (gas), and sometimes a third phase, liquid water. 

This paper is mostly limited to methods for observing the structure of cold, dry snow.

b) Sea ice

Sea ice is a thin, fragile, solid layer that forms in the Polar Oceans.

 It forms a boundary between the relatively warm ocean and the cooler atmosphere. 

c) Frozen ground and permafrost

Frozen ground is soil or rock in which part or all of the water has frozen. 

If the ground is frozen all year long, we call it "permafrost," or permanently frozen ground. 

annual temperatures of the air remain below zero for long periods of time, the water in the ground is always in the solid state, and the land is permanently frozen.

 This state is named permafrost (i.e. permanent ice).

 The land, hardened and without any liquid water, is made up of mineral particles (particles of soil, grains and rock debris of various sizes) cemented together by ice.
