  • A. Antarctic cryosphere
    The Antarctic cryosphere is the vast frozen component of the Antarctic region, encompassing its ice sheets, glaciers, sea ice, and permafrost that play a crucial role in Earth’s climate and sea-level regulation.
  • B. Southern Hemisphere
    The Southern Hemisphere is the half of Earth located south of the equator, encompassing parts of all major oceans and continents and characterized by reversed seasons compared to the Northern Hemisphere.
  • C. Northern Hemisphere ice sheets
    Northern Hemisphere ice sheets are vast continental glaciers that repeatedly expanded and retreated over North America and Eurasia, profoundly shaping global climate, sea levels, and landscapes during the Quaternary.
  • D. Earth polar regions
    The Earth polar regions are the frigid Arctic and Antarctic areas characterized by extreme cold, vast ice sheets and sea ice, unique ecosystems, and a critical influence on the global climate system.
  • E. Campo de Hielo Sur
    Campo de Hielo Sur is a vast Patagonian ice field in southern Chile and Argentina, known as one of the largest extrapolar ice masses in the world.
