Snow and ice preservation

Snow and ice preservation involves using techniques to maintain their quality and prevent melting or sublimation. This often includes controlling temperature and humidity, insulating surfaces with materials like foam or blankets, and minimizing exposure to warmth or sunlight. Maintaining a cold environment, such as in refrigerated containers or cool storage rooms, helps keep snow and ice intact for longer periods. Proper methods ensure they retain their structure, purity, and usefulness, especially for medical, scientific, or presentation purposes. Effective preservation balances temperature control, insulation, and handling to prevent gradual deterioration.
