Translation of "Eispanzer" in English

The phrase is controversial. But if the Greenland ice pack, for example...

Under the icy crust of Saturn's moon Enceladus splashes a global ocean.

The developing layer of ice is evaluated as a criterion for the cold production.

The big ice sheets consist of compressed snow from past centuries and millennia.

The spray formed an ice shield which protected the plants from frost.

For hundreds of years it had a giant ice cover and was left virtually untouched.

Is there life under the icy crust of Enceladus?

The shiny icy shield under which you packed your spouse.

Each year, Greenland's ice sheet diminishes by more than 200 billion metric tons.

The small steam in the grassland has an ice crust too.

The ice crust of this mythical region is like an enormous archive.

Here the 2500-metre-thick ice sheet moves at a speed of 65 metres per year.

Water or ice is pressed with it by columns in the face of ice from the depth at the surface.

The area of sea covered by the Arctic ice at the North Pole has shrunk by 10 % in recent decades, and the thickness of the ice above the water by about 40 %.

Cooling coils 6 which together with a compressor 7, an evaporator 8 and a condenser 9 forms a mechanical refrigeration unit. The carbonator tank 2 is cooled such that a ring-shaped ice-bank 10 is formed about the interior side walls of carbonator tank 2.

From carbonator tank 2 the beverage concentrate 13 is essentially cooled without any heat loss, as the carbonated water stabilized by the ice bank 10 and located in the area of the installed heat conducting element 17 installed at carbonator 2 has a temperature that is near the freezing point and remains fairly constant.

The cooling for this storage vessel 1 is controlled in such a way that in the areas close to the cooling coils 2 and a ring-shaped ice layer is formed in the storage vessel 1.

He is also a specialist for post-glacial rebound, a long-term phenomenon produced by the Earth's glacial history: "For example, during the last glacial period, roughly 20,000 years ago, North America was covered by a three to four-­kilometre-thick ice shield, and its tremendous weight caused the entire landmass under it to sink.

We can examine the data from ice-cores to look at how fast carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere changed over past glacial cycles over 100's of 1000's of years as the vast ice sheets expanded and contracted.

East Antarctica consists of a massive, single ice crust, and only on the edges do you find a few mountains and valleys not covered in snow and ice.

The Antarctic ice sheet is up to 4000 meters high, and that would mean an inconceivable engineering effort.

A real curtain of ice several centimetres thick is therefore generated in the daytime, and acts as insulation.

Occasionally the strong winds of Northern Baikal break weak ice before it turns into a firm cover.

Bine and I go for some climbing and are rewarded by the sight of a huge ice cover of the Emerald glacier.

The small moon to the left is Io, which has no icy armour but does have sulphur geysers.

During the Late Paleozoic icehouse period, which lasted about 40 my, extensive ice shields evolved on the continents of the southern hemisphere.

To accomplish this, German engineers have already devised the initial concept for a technical solution; from a base station on the surface of Enceladus, an ice drill probe would be inserted into the ice crust to a depth of 100 to 200 metres, melting its way through the ice to a water-bearing crevasse.

Beyond that point, the Greenland ice sheet could go into irreversible meltdown, some ecosystems collapse, billions suffer from water stress, and droughts start to threaten global food supplies.
