Are there any ice sheets other than on Greenland or Antarctica

[TCO]

I know there are glaciers in mountains and stuff. And I guess some glaciers that flow down off of mountains like rivers into the sea. But are there any just basic ice coverings of large land (not mountain) in Canada, Alaska, USSR, Svalberg, Iceland, etc.?

[TCO]

And is the Canadian "archipelogo" (those islands covered with ice sheet in a Greenlandish way) de facto part of Canada or just de jure? Since the US knows the under ice much better than Canada. And no one has ever touched the land.

Have you ever been in Texas during the winter? Little snow, but ice is far from uncommon. We had ice yesterday, as a matter of fact.

[Sandman]

I think there's a small one in Iceland. I might be wrong, though.

What do you mean just de jure? That's higher up than de facto..

Iceland has a couple, rather big for the size of the island. I remember from school the biggest one being Vatnajokull.

Iceland has everything. Except the money to advertise it.

ya iceland has some big glaciers along with some volcanic activity. But I think glaciers are all you'll find. Many are melting. Glacier national park is supposed to lose its glaciers in our lifetime. I know Kilmanjaro is about gone. The one in California is hurting too. And south america. Pretty much all the glaciers are receding faster and more in the summer.

de facto beats de jure like crazy.

Your information is out of date, global warming has finished, the cooling cycle has commenced. Just as global warming was triggered by El Nino's in quick succession, a quick succession of La Nina's is now cooling the planet and increasing ice rapidly at the poles, particularly the north pole. Even in the middle of summer, there has been snowfalls on the higher peaks of Southern Australia, not once, not twice but a substantial number of times this summer. The heaviest rains for decades are returning to areas where the warming cycle caused droughts previously.
The cooling cycle has began, and the greenies can in a few years return to the 60' and 70's where the panic was on about global cooling and ice ages

Meanwhile, people have ignored water which is really going to screw us.

There is plenty of water. Desal powered by nuclear power for the win!

On Monkey Island, sure.

You're a moron, Legman. I don't even feel like explaining it, you Euro commie poosie.

[Dis]

there is plenty of water, just not the energy to get it.

nuke plants should be used to power desalination plants on the coast. Old obsolete accords like the agreement for Colorado river need to be scrapped. but powerful states like California would never give us more water. But at some point they need to be forced to use desalination plants, because it's too expensive to pump the water uphill to Las Vegas. So it's more reasonable for us to use more river water, and cities on the coast to use ocean water. Well anyways, that will never happen, but I can dream.

You're assuming the US knows anything of consequence that escapes the notice of The Dominion.

And yes, they are de facto populated by Canadians.

On Monkey Island, sure.

Technically you're both right... pictured as concentric circles de facto is a larger category the de jure within it, but on the other hand qualitatively de jure is more powerful/enforced. It just depends on whether you're talking about scope or nature.
