| Comment |
Freezing of the injected water will produce a layer of clear ice, contrasting with the overlying thinly layered ice of the icing. Rupture and draining of an icing blister may leave an empty cavity. Icing blisters are distinguished from frost blisters by the absence of a covering layer of seasonally frozen ground; they are distinguished from icing mounds by the layer of clear ice, and in some cases by the presence of an empty cavity. They have also been termed "ice blisters" (not recommended).
