Dear Andreas and Jonathan,
I agree that these names look fine and are a sensible addition to the standard name table. I think there is nothing contentious in these proposals so they are accepted for publication in the standard name table and will be added at the next update.
Best wishes,
Alison

> with no vertical component. "Land ice" means glaciers, ice-caps and
> ice-sheets resting on bedrock and also includes ice-shelves.
