Ice cauldrons are ice formations within glaciers that cover some subglacial volcanoes. They can have circular to oblong forms. They can have circular to oblong forms. Their surface areas reach from some meters (as indentations or holes in the ice) to up to 1 or more kilometers (as bowl shaped depressions).
[citation needed] Snow and ice have much lower thermal diffusivities than air. Thermal diffusivity is a measure of the speed at which temperature waves can penetrate a substance. Snow and ice are many orders of magnitude less efficient at diffusing heat than air. Snow cover insulates the ground surface, and sea ice insulates the underlying ...
Articles relating to cauldrons, large pots for cooking or boiling over an open fire, with a lid and frequently with an arc-shaped hanger and/or integral handles or feet. There is a rich history of cauldron lore in religion, mythology, and folklore.

Cauldrons are often sold in New Age or "metaphysical" stores and may have various symbols of power inscribed on them. A Bronze Age cauldron, and flesh-hook, made from sheet bronze
In winter regions that do not have permafrost, the subnivean zone maintains a temperature of close to 32 °F (0 °C) regardless of the temperature above the snow cover, once the snow cover has reached a depth of six inches (15 cm) or more. The sinuous tunnels left by these small mammals can be seen from above when the snow melts to the final ...
The snow does not melt slower gradually with distance from the trunk, but rather creates a wall surrounding snow-free ground around it. According to some of sources, North American spring ephermal plants like spring beauty ( Claytonia caroliniana ), trout lily ( Erythronium americanum ) and red trillium ( Trillium erectum L.) benefit from such ...
