Debris structures in basal ice exposed at the margin of the Greenland ice sheet
The basal ice of many glaciers contains debris structures that reflect subglacial processes. Presented here is an unusually clear photograph of ice and debris in the lowest 2 m of the basal layer at the margin of the Greenland ice sheet. The photograph shows ice‐debris relationships and deformation...

Summary: | The basal ice of many glaciers contains debris structures that reflect subglacial processes. Presented here is an unusually clear photograph of ice and debris in the lowest 2 m of the basal layer at the margin of the Greenland ice sheet. The photograph shows ice‐debris relationships and deformation structures that reflect entrainment processes and flow history. |
