Description
Summary:The Vaughan Lewis Glacier is known for a series of spectacular wave and band ogives at the base of the Vaughan Lewis Icefall. A longitudinal survey was performed to quantify the amplitude and wavelength of the ogives. Lakes in the troughs between several crests provided a unique challenge, requiring the combination of GPS positioning and hydrologic soundings to determine the underwater elevation of the ice surface.
