Comment The cryosphere may be divided into the cryoatmosphere, the cryohydrosphere (snowcover, glaciers, and river, lake and sea ice) and the cryolithosphere (perennially and seasonally cryotic ground). Some authorities exclude the earth's atmosphere from the cryosphere; others restrict the term "cryosphere" to the regions of the earth's crust where permafrost exists. en
