Summary
Abstract: Ancient glacial ice that has stagnated and lies buried underneath rock debris has been found in the Beacon Valley and more recently in several other valleys. This ice poses the possibility of obtaining a much older climate data than can be obtained from Antarctic ice sheet cores. Soil pits were dug above massive relic ice in the Lower Victoria Valley, Beacon Valley, near the Meserve Glacier in ... View entire text
