cryoconiten.

Brit.

/krʌɪə(ʊ)ˈkəʊnʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˌkraɪoʊˈkoʊnaɪt/

Forms: 1800s– cryoconite, 1800s– cryokonite, 1800s– kryoconite, 1800s– kryokonite.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: cryo- comb. form, Greek κόνις , -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: < cryo- comb. form + ancient Greek κόνις dust (see conite n.) + -ite suffix¹.

Geology.

A grey sediment found at the bottom of holes in the surface of an ice field or glacier, consisting chiefly of wind-blown dust and often also microorganisms.

1872 A. E. Nordenskiöld in Geol. Mag. 9 356 The substance is not a clay, but a sandy trachytic mineral... I propose for this substance the name Kryokonite.

1891 Standard 9 Feb. The mysterious ‘kryokonite’ of the vast icefields of Greenland is now believed to be..simply dust blown from America or Europe.

1924 Nature 22 Mar. 418/1 The authors adopt the term ‘cryoconite’ for wind-blown sand in the ice.

Compounds

cryoconite hole n. a hole in an ice surface containing a deposit of cryoconite (typically a cylindrical and water-filled hole).
