The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Glaciology is an interdisciplinary Earth science that integrates geophysics, geology, physical geography, geomorphology, climatology, meteorology, hydrology, biology, and ecology.
- The impact of glaciers on people includes the fields of human geography and anthropology.
- The discoveries of water ice on the Moon, Mars, Europa and Pluto add an extraterrestrial component to the field, which is referred to as "astroglaciology".
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
