Movement of an Ice-Cored Rock Glacier, Tungsten, N.W.T., Canada, 1963-1980
In August 1963 Dr. H. Gabrielse, of the Geological Survey of Canada, established five lines of marked boulders on what is now believed to be a large ice-cored rock glacier near Tungsten, Northwest Territories. The boulders were aligned with survey targets located on the rock walls of the valley in w...
