Massive Ground Ice

Massive Ground Ice is a type of ground ice characterized by ice bodies that are more than 2 meters thick and form as coherent, tabular, or lens-shaped masses within permafrost, distinguished from other ground ice types by their size, structural continuity, and syngenetic or epigenetic origin in unconsolidated sediments during cold-climate conditions of the Pleistocene epoch.
