Ice \Ice\ ([imac]s), n. [OE. is, iis, AS. [=i]s; aksin to D.
ijs, G. eis, OHG. [=i]s, Icel. [=i]ss, Sw. is, Dan. iis, and
perh. to E. iron.]
1. Water or other fluid frozen or reduced to the solid state
by cold; frozen water. It is a white or transparent
colorless substance, crystalline, brittle, and viscoidal.
Its specific gravity (0.92, that of water at 4[deg] C.
being 1.0) being less than that of water, ice floats.

Note: Water freezes at 32[deg] F. or 0[deg] Cent., and ice
melts at the same temperature. Ice owes its cooling
properties to the large amount of heat required to melt
it.

2. Concreted sugar. --Johnson.

3. Water, cream, custard, etc., sweetened, flavored, and
artificially frozen.

4. Any substance having the appearance of ice; as, camphor
ice.

{Anchor ice}, ice which sometimes forms about stones and
other objects at the bottom of running or other water, and
is thus attached or anchored to the ground.

{Bay ice}, ice formed in bays, fiords, etc., often in
extensive fields which drift out to sea.

{Ground ice}, anchor ice.

{Ice age} (Geol.), the glacial epoch or period. See under

{Ice cream} [for iced cream], cream, milk, or custard,
sweetened, flavored, and frozen.

{Ice field}, an extensive sheet of ice.

{Ice float}, {Ice floe}, a sheet of floating ice similar to
an ice field, but smaller.

{Ice foot}, shore ice in Arctic regions; an ice belt. --Kane.

{Ice house}, a close-covered pit or building for storing ice.


{Ice machine} (Physics), a machine for making ice
artificially, as by the production of a low temperature
through the sudden expansion of a gas or vapor, or the
rapid evaporation of a volatile liquid.

{Ice master}. See {Ice pilot} (below).

{Ice pack}, an irregular mass of broken and drifting ice.

{Ice paper}, a transparent film of gelatin for copying or
reproducing; {papier glac['e]}.

{Ice petrel} (Zo["o]l.), a shearwater ({Puffinus gelidus}) of
the Antarctic seas, abundant among floating ice.

{Ice pick}, a sharp instrument for breaking ice into small
pieces.

{Ice pilot}, a pilot who has charge of a vessel where the
course is obstructed by ice, as in polar seas; -- called
