A usually dome-shaped mass of ice resting on rock and surrounded either by an ice shelf, or partly by an ice shelf and partly by the sea. No rock is exposed.
Mass of ice, often dome shaped, resting on rock and surrounded either by an ice shelf, or partly by an ice shelf and partly by sea; no rock is exposed and there may be none above sea-level. For some f
eatures, properly ice rises, the term island has become established through usage.
A mass of ice resting on rock and surrounded either by an ice shelf, or partly by an ice shelf and partly by sea. No rock is exposed and there may be none above sea level. Ice rises often have a dome-
shaped surface. The largest known is about 100 km across.
An area of grounded ice surrounded or almost surrounded by shelf ice or the ice of a floating tongue. Currently the largest ice rise, with an area of 44 000 km2, is Berkner Island in the Ronne-Filchne
r Ice Shelf.
A mass of ice resting on rock and surrounded either by an ice shelf, or partly by an ice shelf and partly by sea; no rock is exposed and there may be none above sea level; ice rises often have a dome-
shaped surface; the largest known is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) across.
Locally grounded area of ice shelf which is over-ridden by an ice sheet and distinguished by crevassing together with a rise in the surface, cf. ice rise.
St. Mamertus, St. Pancras, and St. Savertius or St. Gervais, whose feast-days fall on 11, 12, and 13 May, respectively. These days are associated with May frosts in the folklore of a large part of Eur

Name given by popular tradition, in a large part of Europe, to certain Saints (Mamertus, Pancras, etc.) whose feast days, in the first fortnight of May, are said to be often accompanied by a temporary
lowering of temperature and sometimes by late frosts.
The formation of discrete layers or lenses of segregated ice in freezing mineral or organic soils, as a result of the migration (and subsequent freezing) of pore water.
