冰隆是指冰架隆起的地区，通常较周边地区高出100至200米，最大型的冰隆长200公里、宽50公里，面积10,000平方公里，该地貌容易与被冰架覆盖的岛屿混淆。

• Definition

An ice rise is a clearly defined elevation of the otherwise totally flat ice shelf, typically dome-shaped and rising 100 to 200 metres above the surrounding ice shelf. An ice rise forms where the ice shelf touches the rocky seabed because of an elevation in the seabed that remains below sea level. (In contrast, an elevation in the seabed that extends above sea level is defined as an island). The ice shelf flows over the seabed elevation, completely covering it with ice, thereby forming an ice rise. The resulting tension forms crevasses around the ice rise.
