ice walls

Frozen vertical surfaces

Ice walls are barriers made of ice, either naturally formed glacial features or artificial structures created by freezing water.

In conspiracy theories, ice walls refer to the supposed massive barrier of ice surrounding the flat earth, preventing people from falling off the edge.

The term also appears in fantasy and science fiction: The ice wall stretched across the northern border.
