| Comment |
Icings also occur in non-permafrost areas. Many icings incorporate snow. In North America the term "icing" is gradually replacing a variety of terms used in the past. Aufeis (German), flood ice, flood-plain icing, ice field, naled (Russian) and overflow ice usually indicated icings formed on river ice and floodplains. Chrystocrene (or crystocrene), ground icing, groundwater icing and spring icing usually indicated icings formed by freezing of ground-water discharge. Use of the term "glacier" to describe icings, which is common in Alaska and the Yukon, is inappropriate and should be avoided.
