So by implication we are all wrong.

Is it an iceberg (or the unseen portion)?

Very very close .... in fact,. I'll give it you on that ...



A pingo, also called a hydrolaccolith, is a mound of earth-covered ice found in the Arctic and subarctic that can reach up to 70 metres (230 ft) in height and up to 600 m (2,000 ft) in diameter. The term originated as the Inuvialuktun word for a small hill. A pingo is a periglacial landform, which is defined as a nonglacial landform or process linked to colder climates. They are essentially formed by ground ice which develops during the winter months as temperatures fall. The plural form is "pingos".

Some old pingo ruins can be found in Norfolk, England (in the Breckland) and in the Netherlands, in Dantumadeel and Opsterland in the province of Friesland, and also in the provinces of Drenthe and Groningen.



It is from seeing them in the Breckland that I know the word.


Okay Bilbo - back to you ....

A made-up word?

Is it some kind of legal term?

It's not made up - honest

No, it's not a legal term.
