 | | The ice caps of the polar regions are of significance for the global climate and particularly the water cycle. |
 | | Ice scrapers are tools designed to break the ice free and clear the windows, though removing the ice can be a long, labor-intensive, and stressful process—especially when a driver ends up running late for work as a result. |
