'''Ice harvesting''' is the process of mining ice fields (commonly called "ice belts"). This mined ice can then [[refining|refined]] and used to fuel capital ship [[jump drive]]s, manufacture fuel for [[POS|player-owned starbases (POS)]], and light [[cyno|cynosural fields]]. Ice mining can only be done with specialized modules (ice miners and ice mining lasers) which can only be fit to [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Mining Barges and Exhumers]] or [[Frigate#Expedition Frigates|Expedition Frigates]]. Unlike [[Mining|ore mining]], ice miners mine one block of ice (with a volume of 1000 m<sup>3</sup>) per cycle; as it's not possible to increase this yield, the only way to mine ice more efficiently is to decrease the ice miners' cycle times. | '''Ice harvesting''' is the process of mining ice fields (commonly called "ice belts").
