Description:
The forms of snow and sediment drifts found in Antarctica and Poste-de-la-Baleine are discussed. The deposits of Antarctica, located in Victoria Valley are composed of alternatin layers of wind-driven snow and sand, 0-2m thick. In contrast with Canadian deposits, the Antarctic ones are perennial. If the thickness of the deposit is sufficient, as with the Lower Victoria Glacier, it will flow like a regular glacier. The stratified nature of the Lower Victoria Glacier and certain features of Canadian snow-sediment deposits are related to formations at the South Pole of Mars.
