Ice is water frozen into a solid state. Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color.
It is abundant on Earth's surface – particularly in the polar regions and above the snow line– and, as a common form of precipitation and deposition, plays a key role in Earth's water cycle and climate. It falls as snowflakes and hail or occurs as frost, icicles or ice spikes and aggregates from snow as glaciers and ice sheets.
Ice is commonly used in food storage to lower the temperature to prevent microbial/rotting of food. The common popular way of retrieving and storing ice is through ice cutting.
