jääkilp
Jääkilp is a Finnish term that translates to "ice shield" or "ice armor." It generally refers to a layer of ice that forms on a surface, particularly in natural environments. This can include ice that accumulates on trees, rocks, or other objects during freezing rain or sleet events. In a more specific context, especially in winter sports or survival situations, jääkilp can also describe a protective covering of ice that might form on equipment or clothing.
The formation of jääkilp is a result of water freezing upon contact with a sub-zero surface. This
