Although it is commonly named as "the triple point of water", the stable combination of liquid water, ice I, and water vapor is but one of several triple points on the phase diagram of water. Gustav Heinrich Johann Apollon Tammann in Gottingen produced data on several other triple points in the early 20th century. Kamb and others documented further triple points in the 1960s.
