The ice point is frequently called the freezing point, but the latter term should be reserved for the much broader reference to the solidification of any kind of liquid under various conditions.  3, record 2, English, - ice%20point

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS

For pure-water substance the [freezing point] temperature is 0°C and is termed the "ice-point". In meteorology, the term "freezing-point" is often used to signify "ice-point". In practice, a cooling liquid may not freeze at the freezing-point because of a pressure variation from standard atmospheric pressure, or the presence of impurities, or the phenomenon of supercooling.  7, record 2, English, - ice%20point

The temperature at which [the] crystals [of a pure substance] are in equilibrium with the liquid phase at atmospheric pressure.  6, record 4, English, - melting%20point

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The melting point of a substance should be considered a property of its crystalline form only. At the melting point the liquid and solid forms of a substance exist in equilibrium. All substances of crystalline nature have their characteristic melting points. For very pure substances the temperature range over which the process of fusion occurs is very small. The melting point of a pure crystalline solid is a function of pressure; it increases with increasing pressure for most substances. However, in the case of ice(and a few other substances) the melting point decreases with increasing pressure... Under a pressure of one standard atmosphere, the melting point of pure ice is the same as the ice point, that is, 0°C.  7, record 4, English, - melting%20point

At least part of the movement probably takes place by regelation around small irregularities in the bedrock floor. The increased pressure on the onset side of any protuberance leads to local melting. The water then flows to the lee side where it refreezes under conditions of diminished pressure.  3, record 6, English, - regelation

It may or may not be the same as the melting point or the more rigidly defined true freezing point or(for water) ice point. It is not an "equilibrium" property of a substance; it applies to the liquid phase only.
