... conclusion as to cause other than wind-blown ice floes dragging protruding stones. Ice ramparts and other evidence indicate longshore shearing motion, feasible for ice floes but impossible for ice shove by thermal expansion. The writer finds no evidence that stones, freely wind blown, have made tracks...

... mountain glaciers. Present-day floes of this type originate only by detachment from polar ice packs. But such ice floes could result if a glacial valley was flooded and the tongue of a glacier floated. Such a mechanism, in which a great tide inundated the "Calgary River" valley, could have produced...

The pack ice belt, where we traversed it, was more than 250 km wide and the ships had to move carefully along ever changing openings between the slowly moving ice floes, some of which were some hundreds of meters across. Godthaab finally reached coastal waters on 28 July, three weeks after we had entered...

Isolated hollows can form in several ways, including the melting of stagnant glacial ice blocks (kettle holes), tectonic movements, melting of ground ice...

There are therefore an infinite number of pathways by which clay minerals may be inherited by the weathering...

... of clay suspended in the water. This results in the deposition of clay floes on entry to the sea. Worrall (1982) explains that deflocculation of a clay with adsorbed Ca can be achieved by replacing this cation with Na. In practice, it is also necessary for the Ca to be removed from the system. When...
