Ice is a solid phase, usually crystalline, of a non-metallic substance that is liquid or gas at room temperature, such as ammonia ice or methane ice. However, the word 'ice' normally means water ice, technically restricted to one of the 15 known crystalline phases of water. In non-scientific contexts, it usually describes ice Ih, which is known to be the most abundant of these phases. It can appear transparent or an opaque bluish-white color, depending on the presence of impurities such as air.

landfill in process to become a park. Methane gas collection infrastructure seen on North Mound in the Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island in New York is seen on Sunday, March 21, 2010. The landfill was officially closed on March 22, 2001, having been opened in 1947, and is in the process of being converted into the 2200 acre Fresh Kills Park a process expected to take at least 30 years. The mounds of landfill have been or are in the process of being capped as vegetation is planted. ( Richard
