The Illustrated Glossary of Snow and Ice contains 154 terms for snow and ice in English and matches them with terms in Danish, Finnish, German, Icelandic, Norwegian, Russian, French-Canadian and Argentinian Spanish. Many of the expressions—for instance, permafrost icebound, pack ice—are absent from the vocabularies of other languages.
