Hello Kaya,Thank you for posting a good question. The cryosphere is the part of the earth surface that is frozen. These are the areas that have sea ice or glaciers or ice sheets on them. So both polar regions, Greenland, and many mountain areas would fall in to this part of the earth.
Keep up the good work,
Mr. Wood
