glacier-ice

• “It brought quantities of glacier-ice into the cove, and by 2 a.m. (may 12) our little harbour was filled with ice, which surged to and fro in the swell and pushed its way on to the beach.”

• “The process of decomposition is as different in fresh-water ice and in land-or glacier-ice and that of their formation.”

  The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 12, No. 73, November, 1863

• “There were no glaciers, and no glacier-ice, properly so called.”

  Anahuac : or, Mexico and the Mexicans, Ancient and Modern

• “The glacier-ice is covered with the springtime's leafy green!”

  Lippincott's Magazine, Vol. 22, November, 1878 of Popular Literature and Science

• “The diamond may be recovered from the depths of the ocean; the flower which has withered and died may spring again even from glacier-ice; but the soul once gone is gone for ever: the great disaster of death is irretrievable even in imagination.”

  Lippincott's Magazine, Vol. 22, November, 1878 of Popular Literature and Science

• “It follows from these experiments, that glacier-ice, at a temperature of 32° Fahrenheit, may change its form and preserve its continuity during its motion, in virtue of the pressure to which it is subjected.”

• “Indeed, if all the spaces in the mass of the glacier, not occupied by continuous ice, could be graphically represented, I believe it would be seen that cold air surrounds the glacier-ice itself in every direction, so that probably no masses of a greater thickness than that already known to be permeable to cold at the surface would escape this contact with the external temperature.”

• “Yet while I make this concession, I still maintain, that besides these crystalline figures there exist compressed air-bubbles in the angular fragments of the glacier-ice, as shown in the above wood-cut; and that these bubbles are grouped in sets, trending in the same direction in one and the same fragment, and diverging under various angles in the different fragments.”

  The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 12, No. 74, December, 1863

• “I had considered them to be compressed air-bubbles; and though I cannot, under my present circumstances, repeat the experiment of Dr. Tyndall upon glacier-ice, I conceive that the star-shaped figures represented upon Pl.VII. figs. 8 and 9, in my "Système Glaciaire," may refer to the same phenomenon as that observed by him in pond-ice.”

  The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 12, No. 74, December, 1863

• “And in a certain sense this is true; since, if my views are correct, the glacier exists and is in full life and activity before the secondary blue bands arise in it, whereas the stratification is a feature of its embryo condition, already established in the accumulated snow before it begins its transformation into glacier-ice.”
