This document discusses three types of ice: basal ice, firn ice, and blue ice. Basal ice forms at the bottom of glaciers from meltwater that has percolated down and refrozen. Firn ice forms from compressed snow in polar regions that has not fully consolidated into glacial ice. Blue ice forms when surface ice is exposed and ablated away by wind erosion, leaving behind clear ice.
