Summary
The crystal structure of ice is described, together with the concepts of elasticity and dissipation. The growth of ice on earth is analysed, including the effect of salinity on ice freezing. This leads to definitions of ice types on earth, and to definitions of first year and multiyear ice, as well as icebergs.
