	Beardmore, reached, first, expedition, Shackleton - Beardmore Glacier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Beardmore Glacier () in Antarctica is the largest glacier in the world, with a length exceeding 160 km (100 mi).
		The glacier is one of the main passages from the Ross Ice Shelf through the Queen Alexandra and Commonwealth ranges of the Transantar
		Beardmore Glacier is named after Sir William Beardmore, a Scottish industrialist and expedition sponsor born in 1856.

	Glacier Travel
		A glacier is formed by multi-year ice accretion in mountainous or sloping terrain.
		Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, and second only to the oceans as the largest reservoir of total water.
		The snow from which glaciers form is subject to repeated freezing and thawing, permitting the formation of a form of granular ice called névé.

	Beardmore Glacier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Beardmore Glacier in Antarctica is the largest glacier in the world.
		It was discovered by Ernest Shackleton during his Nimrod Antarctic expedition of 1908, and named after the expedition's sponsor.
		The glacier is one of the main passages from the Ross Ice Shelf through the Trans-Antarctic Mountains to the Antarctic Plateau, and thus made the early conquest of the South Pole possible.

	THE ANTARCTIC WORKING GROUP ON GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS PAGE
		Sirius Group outcrops exposed along the Beardmore Glacier at the Dominion Range are the key location in the debate over the age and significance of these important glacial sediments.
		Webb et al.(1996) infer the sediments were deposited along, and in front of, a tidewater glacier at the head of Beardmore Fjord and subsequently uplifted to the present elevation of 1800 m.
		An isostatic response to erosion of the Beardmore and Mill Glacier Troughs and to a reduction in the thickness of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet may be a significant component of the uplift inferred at the Dominion Range.

		Human experience of glaciers is mainly limted to mountain glaciers that are easily accessible, but by far the greatest mass of ice on Earth is the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which reaches a thickness of nearly 5 km.
		Amundsen Glacier is one of many huge valley glaciers that carve their way through the central Transantarctic Mountains from over 3000m altitude and flow into the Ross Ice Shelf at sea level.
		Beardmore Glacier, slicing its way through the Transantarctic Mountains, is one of the major overland highways to the South Pole from the Ross Ice Shelf.

	The Antarctic Sun - Back To Beardmore - 122803 Issue
		For most people, a visit to Beardmore Camp is a trip back in history, whether to the original camp structure from 19 years ago, now buried under snow, or to the sites of ancient forests and bones, now buried under rock.
		Ever since Robert Scott collected fossils on his way back down the Beardmore Glacier in February 1912, geologists and paleontologists have had an interest in the rocky outcrops lining the broad river of ice.
		This year's Beardmore Camp was the third at the location on the Lennox-King Glacier and the researchers left, saying there are still more fossils to find in the hills.

	Central and Southern Transantarctic Mountains -- Proceedings of a Workshop
		An absence of glacial deposits and associated ice rafted debris, coupled with widespread evaporites, red beds, and the expansion of carbonates (bioherms/reefs) during the Late Permian and Triassic suggest a warmer-than-present world climate punctuated with arid intervals (Parrish, 1990; Frakes et al., 1992).
		The region from Scott Glacier eastward is key to understanding links with rifts in the Weddell region, including motions of the Ellsworth-Whitmore block, and also to establishing the nature of the "southern" termination of the West Antarctic rift shoulder.
		Significant events in Antarctica’s Cenozoic development are the establishment of a circumpolar oceanic circulation, the initiation of glaciation in the Oligocene, uplift and denudation of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM), the establishment of a polar desert climate, and the virtual extinction of a biota.

		Beardmore was a Scottish manufacturer (he built engines for the well-known Fe2B fighter in WW1), the "James Caird", (perhaps the best-known ship’s lifeboat ever built) was named after another financial supporter of Shackleton.
		Vic Macgregor in 1963-4 spent the summer mapping in the area beyond the Beardmore Glacier to the Liv (flown up by Byrd on his first flight to the Pole) and the Axel Heiberg made famous by Amundsen using it as a route on his route to the pole.

		Atop the Beardmore, there is the polar plateau, 350 miles of which must be crossed to reach the Pole.
		The British were confident about the Beardmore Glacier, the only known way of reaching the plateau through the mountains, being their claim and theirs alone.
		An expedition led by Ernest Shackleton in 1907-8 used the Beardmore to journey to within 97 miles of the Pole and return to base, with the Pole remaining to be reached.

		Their last pony had fallen in a crevasse on the glacier (very nearly taking Wild with it), so the men at this point were pulling the sleds themselves.
		By the time they reached the Beardmore Glacier, the ponies had all been killed, and very soon the dog team was sent back.
		On the glacier, the men's inability to properly use skis was further slowing their progress.

		Pliocene marine diatoms found in high level glacial deposits in the Transantarctic Mountains have been ascribed to inland seas and ice-free conditions in the Antarcic interior at that time followed by a major expansion of the ice sheet that over-rode the mountains.
		Basaltic eruptions beneath glaciers have unique characteristics, and the resulting deposits and landforms can be used to document the presence, distribution and properties of glaciers over geological time.
		Erosion of the face of Oliver Bluffs by a late Pleistocene advance of Beardmore Glacier, as well as ongoing erosion by wind deflation and snow-melt dissection of the Bluffs, produced fresh exposures of the Meyer Desert Formation, which were sampled for diatom analyses.

		We were motivated to get as much to Beardmore by Twin Otter as possible to minimize the amount of stuff we have to take with us on our very long traverse - especially given our experience on the Hill of Doom during our previous traverse.
		On the final approach we passed an area at the tip of the Law glacier that we found a few meteorites on.
		The very edge of this glacier (which we avoided) is a chaotic expanse of huge crevasses, testament to the immense forces at work.

	Antarctica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glaciation began at the end of the Devonian period (360 Mya) as Gondwana became centered around the South Pole and the climate cooled, though flora remained.
		It was first recorded near the Beardmore Glacier by Frank Wild on the Nimrod Expedition, and now low-grade coal is known across many parts of the Transantarctic Mountains.
		Glaciologists in Antarctica are concerned with the study of the history and dynamics of floating ice, seasonal snow, glaciers, and ice sheets.
