Yes, very common. The ice sheets and glaciers diminish by the process of sublimation. The direct passing from solid to vapour without an intervening water phase.

Why common salt cannot purified by sublimation?

Common salt, or sodium chloride, cannot be purified by sublimation because it has a high melting point (801°C) and does not sublime at normal temperatures and pressures. Sublimation is the process of a substance transitioning directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase, which is not applicable to sodium chloride.
