A giant slab of translucent glacial ice, up to 100 feet tall, slips into a crevasse at the toe of a glacier. Ice is everywhere. It is in the sky in the form of snow, sleet, hail and crystal. Cubes and frost are forms of ice that can be found in our freezers.
Ice is even in outerspace on other planets and in comets.
Most of the ice on Earth is in the form of glaciers. Back to index. It is brittle and has a conchoidal fracture. In snow crystals the habit is stellate with six rays. Ice's habit is from massive to granular.
