Formation of “Blue” Glacier Ice by Horizontal Compressive Forces
Abstract Data are supplied to show that the “blue” surface ice zone encountered in the Skelton Glacier, Antarctica, results from horizontal compressive forces. Examples of the densification of surface snows of the Ross Ice Shelf by this means are also given. Such density changes should be expected i...
