What happens when you're stuck in the house, ice and sleet pounding at your windows? Your mind gets stuck in ice mode. You begin to search the Web to see what types of subjects you can find that deal with ice. I found sites that are great for report topics, interesting and unknown facts and just plain fun ones. From Geology to Forensic science there is something for everyone.

In 1996 an expedition led by Johan Reinhard went in search of ancient ice mummies frozen in the ice of Peru. Travel with the team as they explore the recent discoveries and scientific studies that have helped scientists discover more about the ancient Incas. What they ate and even superstitions surrounding the burial site. Go on an exciting journey into the past. When you are finished exploring you can learn about the scientific study of mummies by examining an ancient burial site.

The earth is continually going through climatic changes. When we have experienced colder periods in time, known as the Ice Ages. Explore the reasons and events that create these global changes. In Warnings From The Ice learn more about the ice ages and how scientists are using ice cores to create a time machine into the past.

What would an ice page be without icebergs. Icebergs are made from snow that fell and never melted. Some icebergs are made from snow that fell over 100,000 years ago. There are many types of icebergs and a lot of science behind their study. Learn more about icebergs and even check out their location with the daily locator.

Welcome to Glacier. Here you can learn not only about the many forms of ice but the importance of their study and the relationship to our global weather. What's it like to live and work in the Antarctic? Go on an expedition and find the answers to these questions as you learn about the daily life of the Arctic researchers. Weather in the Antarctic explains more about meteorology, the conditions and tools the scientists use.

If you are planning to do a report and you want to have quality pictures to go along with it, visit this Iceberg Page. Beautiful photographs taken in Greenland, with text and illustrations of icebergs.

For those who want a quick answer to frequently asked questions you can visit Icebergs of Newfoundland and Labrador. If you're looking for little-known and odd facts, they have a page for that too. It's a page with beautiful photographs, iceberg types and an online form you can use for your own iceberg observations.
