'''Ice harvesting''' is the process of obtaining resources from ice fields (commonly called "ice belts"). This mined ice can then be [[refining|refined]] and used to fuel capital ship [[jump drive]]s, manufacture fuel for [[POS|player-owned starbases]] and [[Citadels|structure]] services, and light [[cyno|cynosural fields]]. Ice harvesting ~~can only be done with~~ specialized modules or drones, and so is generally only performed by the same ships used for regular mining: [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Mining Barges and Exhumers]], [[Frigate#Expedition Frigates|Expedition Frigates]], Industrial Command Ships, the [[Rorqual]], the Capital Industrial Ship.

Unlike the various [[Mining|ore mining]] tools, ice harvesting tools always harvest one block of ice (with a volume of 1000 m<sup>3</sup>) per cycle; because of this, the best method of harvesting ice more efficiently is to decrease the ice harvesters' cycle times.
