Ground penetrating radar sounding on an active rock glacier on James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula region: Polish Polar Research, v
Abstract: This study used ground penetrating radar soundings to examine a tongue−shaped rock glacier (6404’S 5825’W) on James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula, in January 2005. The rock glacier studied has multiple well−developed transverse ridges and approximately 800 m long from the talus of its h...

The rock glacier studied has multiple well−developed transverse ridges and approximately 800 m long from the talus of its head to its frontal slopes and is 300 m wide in the middle. The longitudinal ground penetrating radar profile identified debris bands which dip up−glacier, similar to the thrust structures in the compression zone of a valley glacier.

We concluded that this rock glacier has been created by the deformation of a glacier ice core and a thick and continuous debris mantle.
