Evans Ice Stream () is a large ice stream draining from Ellsworth Land, between Cape Zumberge and Fowler Ice Rise, into the western part of Ronne Ice Shelf. The feature was recorded on February 5, 1974 in Landsat imagery. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Stanley Evans, British physicist who, starting in 1961, developed apparatus for radio echo sounding of icecaps and glaciers from aircraft; he carried out upper atmosphere research at Brunt Ice Shelf, 1956-57.

Ice XII is a metastable, dense, crystalline phase of solid water. It is a type of ice. It was first reported in 1996 by C. Lobban, J.L. Finney and W.F. Kuhs and after initial caution was properly identified in 1998.

It was first obtained by cooling liquid water to 260 K at a pressure of 0.55 GPa; it was discovered existing within the phase stability region of ice V. Later research showed that ice XII could be created outside that range. Pure ice XII can be created from ice Ih at 77 K by rapid compression (0.81-1.00 GPa/min) or by warming high density amorphous ice at pressures between 0.8 and 1.6 GPa.

While it is similar in density (1.29 g/cm³ at 127 K) to ice IV (also found in the ice V space) it exists as a tetragonal crystal. Topologically it is a mix of seven- and eight-membered rings, a 4-connected net (4-coordinate sphere packing) — the densest possible arrangement without hydrogen bond interpenetration.

An icemaker is a device often found inside a freezer that is used to make ice. Ice machine usually refers to a standalone appliance that it built for making large quantities of ice. Commercial ice cube makers improve the quality of ice by using moving water. Basically the faster the water moves the better the ice quality. Air and undissolved solids will be washed away to such an extent that in horizontal evaporator machines the water has 98% of the solids removed resulting in very hard virtually pure ice. In vertical evaporators the ice is softer, more so if there are actual individual cube cells.

Grass Point State Park is a state park located in the Town of Orleans in Jefferson County, New York. The park is located along the St. Lawrence River by Routes 12 and 180, between Clayton and Alexandria Bay.

Grass Point Cottage is a full-service accommodation. The park offers picnic tables with pavilions, a playground and playing fields, recreation programs, a nature trail, hiking and biking, fishing and ice fishing, a boat launch and docks, seasonal waterfowl huning, a campground with tent and trailer sites.

An ice rise is a clearly defined elevation of the otherwise totally flat ice shelf, typically dome-shaped and rising 100 to 200 meters above the surrounding ice shelf. An ice rise forms where the ice shelf touches the rocky seabed because of an elevation that does not reach sea level. Otherwise it would be an island instead of an ice rise, by definition. The appearance of an island within and totally covered by the ice shelf, and an ice rise may the same, and the difference may be established by elaborate measurements only. The ice shelf flows over this obstacle, which is completely covered by ice, with no rock exposed, thereby forming an ice rise. The resulting tension forms crevasses around the ice rise. Although ice rises are typically located within the ice shelf area, they can partially face the open sea.

Ice rises are found only on the ice shelves of Antarctica, mostly on Ronne Ice Shelf. The largest ice rises exceed dimensions of 50 by 200 km, or 10 000 km² in area. Some ice rises are incorrectly called islands, but also a few totally ice-covered islands within an ice shelf are also called ice rises, most notably Berkner Island and Lyddan Island.

Cook Ice Shelf () is an ice shelf about 55 miles wide, occupying a deep recession of the coastline between Cape Freshfield and Cape Hudson. This ice shelf was called a bay by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-14, under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Joseph Cook, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1914. The generic term has been amended, as the bay is permanently filled by an ice shelf.

Bottom fishing is the act of fishing the bottom of a body of water. A common rig for fishing on the bottom is a weight tied to the end of the line, and a hook about an inch up line from it. Bottom fishing can be both done from boats and from coasts. Bottom fishing can produce many fish, but is most productive at getting sucker fish, bream, catfish, and crappie (in the right conditions). Specialized fishing rods called donkas are also commonly used for bottom fishing.

Grafton Lakes State Park is a state park in Rensselaer County, New York in the USA. The park is in the central part of the Town of Grafton and north of the community of Grafton on Route 2.

The park offers a beach, a boat launch and boat rentals, a bridle path, hunting, fishing and ice fishing, ice skating, hiking and biking, picnic tables and pavilions, a nature trail, a playground, recreation programs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, and a food concession.

Thompson’s Lake State Park is a state park in New York, USA.

The park offers a beach, a playground and playing fields, picnic tables, recreation programs, a nature trail, fishing and ice fishing, a boat launch, a dump station, campground for tents and trailers, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The park is adjacent to the Emma Treadwell Thacher Nature Center, which park users also have access to.

The Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus was a monumental work by Olaus Magnus on the Nordic countries, printed in Rome 1555. It was a work which long remained for the rest of Europe the authority on Swedish matters. Its popularity increased by the many small sketches of people and their customs, amazing the rest of Europe. It was translated into Italian (1565), German (1567), English (1658) and Dutch (1665). Abridgments of the work appeared also at Antwerp (1558 and 1562), Paris (1561), Amsterdam (1586), Frankfurt (1618) and Leiden (1652). It is still today a valuable repertory of much curious information in regard to Scandinavian customs and folk-lore.
