About This Clues Answer

We think the answer is "FIRN" which means:

noun

• A type of old snow which has gone through multiple thaw and refreeze cycles and thus is made of numerous small icy grains, though it is not nearly as saturated with water as snow-cone slush is; can be hard or somewhat soft depending on recent and current weather conditions.

An example sentence would be:

• "The firn is a type of snow that has been partially compacted over time."
• "Climbing on firn requires appropriate equipment to ensure safety."
