Description:
Measurements have been made of the deformation of boreholes, of tunnels along the bed, and of horizontal circular holes cut in the walls of the tunnels, in the Meserve Glacier, Antarctica, in which the ice is at about -18 degrees. The change in the flow properties of the ice is tentatively associated with a salt-rich layer of amber ice which extends to almost a meter above the base of the glacier.
