The Cryosphere
The Earth System’s portion of frozen water is called the Cryosphere.
The cryosphere is what we mean when we talk about ice on Earth. The phrase “permafrost,” which comes from the Greek word for cold, “kryos,” covers all kinds of frozen water, including soil that has been below freezing for an extended period of time without necessarily having any water in it. The cryosphere is the “frozen water component of the Earth system,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
