The ice sheet's basal layer

A major issue discussed during the workshop on the "Oldest Ice Core Reconnaissance" is the basal layer in an ice sheet, i.e. about 10-20% of the ice thickness, which used to be called the "echo-free zone". It can now be imaged with modern radars, but its formation is not understo...
