Structural Glaciology of an Ice Layer in a Firn Fold, Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica: Ice Grain Analysis

Abstract A highly deformed area in the Ross Ice Shelf near the Bay of Whales was studied during the 1958–59 Antarctic summer season. A series of snow-firn folds up to 8 m. high and with a wavelength of approximately 100 m. occurs here. Along one of these folds, a unique ice layer formed during the 1...
