A laboratory simulation of rock breakdown due to freeze‐thaw in a maritime Antarctic environment
Abstract Results of freeze‐thaw simulations on three large blocks of quartz‐micaschist are presented. Three types of water to ice phase change were identified from temperature and ultrasonic measurements. It is suggested that the type of phase change results from a particular combination of rock moi...

Abstract Results of freeze‐thaw simulations on three large blocks of quartz‐micaschist are presented.
