The contribution of polar expeditions to the science of glaciology
Polar research is significant to glaciologists first because real inland ice is found only in the polar regions, and secondly because most of the glaciers there belongto a distinct geophysical type. It is therefore remarkable that the snow, iceand glaciers of these regions only recently became objec...

It is therefore remarkable that the snow, iceand glaciers of these regions only recently became objects of interest and study. |
