Inlandsis (Hoja de Hielo) Inuit


Explanation:
Compare http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlandsis with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheet

The English version explains that an ice 'sheet' is larger than 50,000 km^2 - if smaller, then it's called an ice 'cap'.

  -> Obviamente, se trata de la capa de hielo que corresponde al territorio que ocupan los Inuit. (Alaska y Canada, no en Siberia), pero eso le corresponde traducirlo a rantoniomg. Gracias de todos modos :-)
disagree  Jennifer Levey: No se refiere a una 'capa de hielo'. 'ice sheet' = 'inlandsis / hoja de hielo'.

  -> igual le corresponde traducirlo a rantoniomg. Era solo una sugerencia. Mi propuesta se refería a los inuit.
