	Axel Heiberg Glacier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Axel Heiberg Glacier is a valley glacier, 48 km (30 mi) long, descending from the polar plateau to the Ross Ice Shelf between the Herbert Range and Mount Don Pedro Christophersen, in the Queen Maud Mountains.
		Discovered in November 1911 by Captain Roald Amundsen, and named by him for Consul Axel Heiberg, Norwegian business man and patron of science, who contributed to numerous Norwegian polar expeditions.

		Perennial springs located on west central Axel Heiberg Island in the Canadian High Arctic provide useful analogs to liquid water habitats that may have existed on the planet Mars during a more clement past.
		The springs occur in a region with a mean annual air temperature of -17° C and thick, continuous permafrost reaching depths of 600 meters.
		The springs located at Axel Heiberg provide an example of how hydrothermal systems operate in the presence of thick permafrost - as would have been expected to be present on early Mars.

		The fossil forest is located on the northeast corner of Axel Heiberg, an uninhabited island covered by mountainous glaciers and huge expanses of polar desert.
		Analysis of the remains indicate they were buried in fresh water, probably by a flood, in an environment where little or no mineralization could undermine the organic integrity of the trees, cones, twigs, leaf litters, boles and roots.
		He is, however, heartened by the possibility that Axel Heiberg might be protected by national park legislation.

		The distribution of glacially transported erratics in the westernmost Canadian Arctic Archipelago was mapped on western Axel Heiberg and Meighen islands, Nunavut.
		Forty km to the west of Axel Heiberg Island, on the continental shelf, Meighen Island is capped by unconsolidated sand of the Neogene Beaufort Formation (Thorsteinsson, 1961).
		The absence of granite on northeastern Meighen Island and the Fay Islands suggests that most of a trunk glacier in Sverdrup Channel was fed directly from Axel Heiberg Island ice which displaced regional granite-bearing ice farther to the west.

		Axel Heiberg Island may look Arctic today, but it must have been warmer for champsosaurs to survive there
		While continental shifts might mean Axel Heiberg was farther south 90 million years ago, Tarduno and Brinkman say it would still have been above sixty degrees latitude, in what is considered high Arctic.
		They say that the new evidence suggests that there was probably a lesser range of global temperatures from the equator to the poles than was previously thought.
