Ice Complex

An Ice Complex is a natural geological formation where layers of ice, often formed from ancient glaciers or permafrost, are trapped within rock or soil. These complexes typically occur in cold regions and can contain large amounts of preserved ice, sometimes dating back thousands of years. They are important for scientific research because they offer insights into past climates, ecosystems, and permafrost dynamics. Additionally, Ice Complexes can influence local geology and hydrology by affecting ground stability and water flow, and they may contain valuable resources like freshwater and minerals.
