English term or phrase: the ice cometh
I've got very little context, since I'm translating the index of a physics magazine, but the articles themselves aren't available yet. The following is all I've got:

The Ice Cometh ...................................... page 39

What are the prospects for the East Delaware Deep Ice Experiment, EDDIE?

Now, I know very well that it's the same thing as "The Ice Comes", but how can I express it in Spanish so that it keeps that "ancient language" touch?

se viene el hielo


Explanation:
It is something that will happen in the future. There seems to be an echo of a famous play, then film, written by Eugene O'Neill called "the Iceman Cometh"
