What does ICECAP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick, permanent covering of ice and snow over a large area of land.
An icecap sits over land the way a lid sits over a pot, and the largest ones, in Greenland and Antarctica, are kilometres thick. Smaller icecaps crown high mountains and polar islands. Scientists watch them closely because the water locked inside them would raise sea levels if they melted, and because their layers record ancient climates.
