	Glaciers
		As glacier enter a section of increasing slope, or near where they enter the sea they may speed up and the surface ice especially is under tension.
		The biggest is the Lambert Glacier which flows to the sea over in the Australian sector, it is up to 80 km wide and flows near the sea at a rate of about 1 km per year into the Amery Ice shelf at Prydz Bay.
		Where a glacier is forced to turn round a bend big pressure ridges form on the inside of the bend and very large crevasses on the outside of the bend.

		By way of the Ferrar Glacier they reached the ice-cap after considerable troubles, not the least of which was the loss of the data necessary for navigation contained in an excellent publication called Hints to Travellers, which was blown away.
		Threading their way amidst the ice disturbances which mark the head of the glaciers, the party pushed blindly forward in air which was becoming thick with snow-drift.
		But away from the main stream of the glacier, and separated from it by land now known as Hope Island, was a narrow and steep snow slope forming a gateway which opened on to the main glacier stream.

		In between the blue ice, the glacier is covered with rocks, holes, heights, recessions, crevasses and small hills.

		Surface elevation was measured by GPS at Tarn Flat and the Strandline Glaciers (1993) and along the traverse from Terra Nova Bay to the East Antarctic plateau 280 km (1993).
		Establishing velocities of glaciers, ice streams, ice sheets, and ice shelves is essential to calculate the discharge of the mass balance equation.
		Velocities on the shelf near the DeVicq Glacier increase westward to near 0.5 km yr -1 and reach 0.6 km yr -1 at the glacier.

		A carbonatite dike in alkaline granite from the upper Koettlitz Glacier.

		The southern sector of the Priestley Fault, in the Southern Deep Freeze Range, north Victoria Land, Antarctica, has been studied during the XII Italian Antarctic Expedition (1996-1997).
		The Priestley Fault consists of an anastomosed array of fault zones which constitute a highly deformed belt running NW-SE from the head of the Priestley Glacier to the Terra Nova Bay.
		During the XII Italian Antarctic Expedition (1996-1997), detailed field work was carried out in the area from the Priestley Glacier to the Mawson Glacier, southward of the Drigalski Ice Tongue.

		Part of the oil was sprayed over a large area to the west of the pipeline and part of it accumulated in an oil body that floats at the water table to the east of the point of discharge.

		The trend in isotopic enrichment in paleowaters is the reverse of that normally observed in continental glacial age ground water.

		Sedimentary rocks from this area were only collected as erratics, chiefly from the Priestley Glacier, and were of coarse to fine sandstones, pebbly grits and dark brown grits, and sandstones with shale inclusions.
		The erratic specimens were taken from the Boomerang, Priestley and Corner glaciers.
		Igneous rocks were also mainly collected from glacier moraines (from the Hell's Gate, Boomerang, Campbell, Corner, and Priestley glaciers); however, in situ specimens include biotite-diorite, biotite-granite and garnetiferous aplites from Inexpressible Island.

		The Oceanographic Research principal themes of research are: •Determination of the impact of katabatic airstreams on the vertical structure of the sea water column and on the thermoaline cell processes in the polynya.
		These results concern the simulation of katabatic airflows on extra-fine grids.[Priestley Glacier], the interaction of katabatic airflows of Reeves and Priestley Glaciers at their convergence, the simulation of the polynya and determination of the oceanograpfhy sub-model sensitivity on the same area and the Operational Meteorology and computational state of art.

	NEW U-PB ZIRCON DATA BEARING ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROSS OROGEN AND BYRD GLACIER DISCONTINUITY, TRANSANTARCTIC ...
		Based on the roughly linear distribution of Cambro-Ordovician plutons and batholiths throughout the orogen, the continental margin must have approximately coincided with the present day Transantarctic Mtns.
		A major discontinuity in this linear trend occurs at Byrd Glacier where plutonic and high-grade metamorphic rocks to the north are juxtaposed to the south by a low-grade sedimentary sequence.
		Neoproterozoic sedimentation is suggested throughout the Transantarctic Mtns, while E to M Cambrian sedimentation and volcanism have been documented by fossils and isotopic dating only in that portion of the Transantarctic Mtns between Byrd Gl and the Pensacola Mtns.

		In both plays, Priestley expounds his mystical theories concerning men's lives as recurrent phases.
		Perhaps Priestley's true achievement in time-juggling is to make two hours in the theatre seem more like two weeks.

		The revival of polar exploration began in about 1925 and was based on new tools such as the airplane, which enabled explorers to avoid the obstacles of surface travel and to cover a large area in a short period of time.
		Lars Christenson, a Norwegian whaling magnate, promoted Norwegian expeditions in 1930 to 1931 and 1936 to 1937; during the latter, aerial mapping was done of an area from 20øE to 82øE, resulting in eleven sheets at 1:250,000-scale and one at 1:500,000-scale, published in Oslo in 1946.
		By the end of 1961, large areas of the continent had been photographed from the air, and reconnaissance mapping - largely a matter of plotting accurately portions of the outcropping rock features or special large ice features such as glaciers - was available for major features.

		By the evening, Rune’s ARGOS beacon showed he had set off for the last leg to the top of the glacier which, wind permitting, he could reach today.

		After landing the ponies we steamed up to the sea-ice by Glacier Tongue, and from there, taking Priestley and Abbott, I went with letters to Hut Point, where the depot party would call on their way back.’
		Thus Scott came on Wednesday, February 22, to receive the news which was bound to occupy his thoughts, however resolutely he refused to allow it to interfere in any way with his plans.
