Ice fields on which bases are established (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diamonds

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'ice' is the first definition.

'fields on which bases are established' is the second definition.
'diamonds' can be an answer for 'fields' (diamond is a kind of field). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diamonds that I've seen before include "cutters" , "Jewels known as a girl's best friend" , "Components of ring" , "Pieces of the hardest known mineral" , "where some Americans find sporting action" .)
