Mongolia bids to keep city cool with ‘ice shield’ experiment. Geoengineering trial aims to ‘store’ winter temperatures in a giant block of ice that will cool and water Ulan Bator in summer.

The project aims to artificially create “naleds” - ultra-thick slabs of  ice that occur naturally in far northern climes when rivers or springs  push through cracks in the surface to seep outwards during the day and  then add an extra layer of ice during the night. Unlike regular ice  formation on lakes - which only gets to a metre in thickness before it  insulates the water below - naleds continue expanding for as long as  there is enough water pressure to penetrate the surface. Many are more  than seven metres thick, which means they melt much later than regular  ice.
