Summary: | The existence of marine ice transfer along the underside of the Hell's Gate Ice Shelf (Victoria Land), is indicated by an isotopic and chemical study of ice cores. Because of top surface ablation, the marine ice formed at the ice shelf-ocean interface, ultimately appears at shelf surface. A succession of congelation, platelet and frazil ice is shown to occur. Two different freezing zones separated by a melting zone exist; the parent water for the frazil ice is meltwater from congelation ice which appears in the upstream zone. -from Authors SCOPUS: NotDefined.j FLWNA info:eu-repo/semantics/published
