He is credited as inventing a modern method of manufacturing ice cream and for new flavor development. [3] He is nicknamed “the Father of Ice Cream”, despite not inventing ice cream. [4] [5] Jackson served for twenty years as a chef at the White House in Washington, D.C., before opening his own catering and confection business. [6]
The Geological history of the Earth is divided into ice ages, based on temperature and climate. The last glacial period, commonly referred to as The Ice Age is thought to have begun about 110,000 years ago and ended about 10,000 years ago. While covered in ice, Iceland's icefalls, fjords and valleys were formed. [7]
Ice that is found at sea may be in the form of drift ice floating in the water, fast ice fixed to a shoreline or anchor ice if attached to the seafloor. [45] Ice which calves (breaks off) from an ice shelf or a coastal glacier may become an iceberg. [46] The aftermath of calving events produces a loose mixture of snow and ice known as Ice ...
Ötzi, also called The Iceman, is the natural mummy of a man who lived between 3350 and 3105 BC. Ötzi's remains were discovered on 19 September 1991, in the Ötztal Alps (hence the nickname "Ötzi", German:) at the Austria–Italy border.
Some techniques were also invented to produce ice or chilled drinks through more artificial means. In India, ice was imported from the Himalayas in the 17th century, but the expense of this meant that by the 19th century ice was instead produced in small quantities during the winter further south.

Ice cream was originally made using very intensive labor and it often took one individual hours to make. Johnson had invented the hand cranked ice cream churn as a way to make ice cream faster and easier than by hand. [4] The patent number for the Artificial Freezer is US3254A. [5] It was patented on September 9, 1843, and antedated on July 29 ...

[1] [2]Born on the Island of Nevis in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies to Scottish parents on October 3, 1803, he spent his childhood in South Carolina.
Using this model, Budyko found that if ice sheets advanced far enough out of the polar regions, a feedback loop ensued where the increased reflectiveness of the ice led to further cooling and the formation of more ice, until the entire Earth was covered in ice and stabilized in a new ice-covered equilibrium.
