ice blinkn.

Brit.

/ˈʌɪs blɪŋk/, U.S.

/ˈaɪs ˌblɪŋk/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Swedish lexical item. Etymons: ice n., blink n.²

Etymology: < ice n. + blink n.², after forms in other Germanic languages: compare Swedish isblink (18th cent. in senses 1 and 2) and Danish isblink (19th cent. in senses 1 and 2; 18th cent. in sense 1 as iisblink ), and also German Eisblink (18th cent. in senses 1 and 2), Dutch ijsblink (1869 in sense 2). Compare isblink n.Although sense 1 is attested earliest in English, it is likely that this arose originally by metonymy from sense 2 in the donor languages. Quot. 1767 at sense 1 apparently shows earlier borrowing of German Eisblink in English.

1. A high ice field or range of ice cliffs visible for a long distance from out at sea; esp. (the name of) such a feature on the south-east coast of Greenland. Now rare.

1767 tr. D. Cranz Hist. Greenland I. i. i. 5 Twelve leagues from the colony lies the famous Ice-glance, or shining ice, in the charts named the Eis-blink, or de witte Blink. It is a great high field of ice, whose glance in the air may be seen for many leagues at sea, resembling the Aurora Borealis.]

1837 G. G. Macdougall tr. W. A. Graah E. Coast Greenland 71 In the interior of the bay, some four or five not inconsiderable ice-blinks protrude into the sea.

1888 Amer. Naturalist 22 709 Terminal moraines are found in front of every ice-river that does not directly run into the sea, e.g., in front of Fredrikshaab's ice-blink.

1903 McClure's Mag. Feb. 411 Mr. Peary did not reach the Pole, but he has left all across the ice blink of Greenland..and up and down the Arctic Ocean, the tracks of a big, bold, noble man to inspire men forever.

2. A luminous appearance on the horizon in polar seas, caused by the reflection of light from an ice sheet. Cf. blink n.² 4.
