The cryosphere refers to the components of the Earth system where water exists in solid form, including glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, snow cover, permafrost and frozen ground. It spans polar regions, high mountains and seasonally cold areas. The cryosphere influences climate by reflecting solar radiation, regulating energy exchange and storing freshwater, and it plays a central role in sea level change and global hydrological processes.
