Why are we sending people there to issue them ice and water?
Last year, as temperatures climbed into the upper-80s dangerously high for a distance race people who lived along the course bought ice and water to give runners.
The summit greets us with a vista arranged from snow and ice, water and clouds.
About the same size as fine particles of cigarette smoke, the grains are made of silicate minerals and carbon-based materials coated with ice - principally water ice and frozen carbon monoxide.
It could identify soil types, verify the presence of water ice and dry ice at the poles, and even track traces of water underground.
Participants on a 10-to-12 mile Tough Mudder course wade through waist-deep mud, crawl under barbed wire, submerge themselves in ice water and jump through fire.
Local police described how one piece smashed into the ground near Lake Chebarkul, throwing up a column of ice, water and steam and creating a 26-foot crater.
In the study released Wednesday, researchers suggest extracting the natural gas hydrates with "depressurization" -- a method that involves changing the ice into gas and water at the surface.
The man makes French toast and waffles and ham and eggs and pancakes and cereal and Pop-Tarts and brownies and hot dogs and hamburgers and baked Alaska and a birthday cake in the shape of a castle and pours glasses of milk and orange juice and coffee and Tang and Kool-Aid and water and puts ice in all of the glasses.
Scientists have previously established the existence of water on Mars in the form of ice at the poles and water vapor, and pointed to geological features that appear to have been carved by water ages ago.
Using elevation data from Nasa's ICESat, cross-checked with other Nasa satellites, the team was able to map the rise and fall of the overlying ice, and hence areas where water pooled or flowed away.
We must have been a sight, two 40-something women breaking the bags of ice and loading bottles of water, beer and sodas into the cart.

We're talking about frozen carbon dioxide, frozen other kinds of gases, but also water ice, and it's thought by most astronomers now that, originally, comets contributed a huge amount of water to Earth and a lot of what is now in our ocean.
This has enabled scientists to estimate the volume of water in the ice cap and speculate that much of the planet's original water is either hidden below the surface or missing.
Oh, and I would sling bottles of water, sodas and ICE COLD beer to slake the thirst of what I hoped would be a big crowd.
That is both because ice is melting and because the water is warming, causing it to expand.
FORBES: What If Mike Bloomberg Is Right And A Climate Change Nightmare Is Here?
He also says drinking water and ice is finally reaching some of the ravaged coastal areas and other critical supplies are on their way.
There's an important distinction between these two types of objects: Comets are mostly water, ice and dust, while asteroids are mostly rock or metal.
The effects of water and ice, too, are likely to be intermittent, and to trail off a bit as the reserves on top of the mountain are used up.

Johnson, the deputy director of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said Monday that Hurricane Gustav was expected to be a catastrophic storm when it reached land late Monday morning, but there was enough food, water, ice and other supplies stockpiled for 1 million victims over the next three days.
Johnson, the deputy director of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said Monday that Hurricane Gustav was expected to be a catastrophic storm when it slammed into the Gulf Coast late Monday morning, but there was enough food, water, ice and other supplies stockpiled for 1 million victims over the next three days.
Extra bedding was being provided for animals, and work would ensure that ice was broken if it formed on water troughs and lakes, the zoos said.
It is an extremely complex measurement, because there are so many factors at work: shifting ocean currents, the dynamics and movement of large ice shelves, and the varying temperature and saltiness of water at different places.
Much of it resulted from volcanoes blasting out gases like carbon dioxide and water vapour, which allowed ice (also a mineral) to form near the poles of Earth, and possibly on Mars too.
Dr Pettitt said Jersey became connected to the west of France during the Ice Age, when water was locked up at the poles as ice and sea levels were low.
Ice water, soft drinks and coffee are among the choices available to Heater and others who evacuated to the stadium.

Then, before they left, they were asked to rate on a scale of zero (no hurt) to five (hurts worst) how much pain they experienced in the warm water and the ice.
ECONOMIST: Religion got it right: pain seems to assuage guilt
Satellites have long been used to track ice extent (area), but calculating the thickness of the marine floes requires the overflying spacecraft to gauge the difference between the top of the ice surface and the top of the water - a relatively simple calculation then gives the overall volume.
