The geographic footprint of the ice industry varied over time, due to changes in climatic conditions, technology, infrastructural and political conditions, and market factors. At various points in time, the major ice-producing regions of Kiravia were [[Koskenkorva]], [[Wintergen]], the Far Northeast, [[Irovasdra]], [[Intravia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Arkvera]], [[Kernea]], upstate [[Kiygrava]], [[Tharvia]], and [[Vrykróva]] in the eastern branch of the industry, and [[Devalōmara]], [[Rhuon]], [[Lataskia]], and glaciated parts of the Western Highlands in the western branch. The main export ports in the east were [[Valēka]], [[Béyasar]], and [[Kérvoak]], while [[Tavroa]] dominated western exports. | The geographic footprint of the ice industry varied over time, due to changes in climatic conditions, technology, infrastructural and political conditions, and market factors.
