| Comment |
Freezing of the accumulated subsurface water produces a domed layer of clear ice beneath the overlying frozen ground. Frost blisters are formed in a single winter; their decay may take more than a year. They are distinguished from icing blisters by the layer of seasonally frozen ground overlying the ice layer.
