Reply With QuoteThat is crazy cool. If you wrote a song about it. Would it be A Song of Ice & Fire?
ice volcano
Heard an interesting story about an "ice volcano" being formed from a guyser in a New York state park. Google has a link to the story for those that are interested.
Sounds like a cool idea for a major terrain feature in a map if you ask me.

it was NOT a "geyser" but a normal every day frozen fountain
if you want a water "ice" lava volcano
look at Saturn's moon Titian
the "land" is frozen water ice
the "water" is liquid Methane and Butane type compounds ( LNG)

Yeah! A song!
There's an frozen storm, do-do-do-do-dooooo
In a park up North, do-do-do-do-doooo
Up it used to spew, then it froze - wha-hoo!

(I know - a really terrible song and I didn't even use 'ice volcanoe'. Oh well.... It is stil really neat.
After looking at johnvanvliet's picture this just popped into my head "If Methane could get us places in space we'd just plug a couple of cows in and have at it." (I have no idea why that popped into my head - it just did. :-P )
Hah! That's what I get for trying to post from my phone between customers. Thanks for the correction on that John. Still kind of a cool concept for a map of some extremely cold region. Imagine if it were happening on a mountain-sized scale.

The blog at Knowledge is the weapon has an entry about
cryovolcanoes.
Mud volcanoes are an interesting geographical feature.

There are some not far from where I live as the crow flies, though they're difficult to get to and I haven't visited them yet.
There is a planet of burning ice. That's really cool if you want to look into it although it more of a syfy element.
