There are seals all over the place as
new cracks in the ice create new suitable locations for feeding and many seals move to these new areas.
The researchers propose that, unlike in Antarctica where surface temperatures remain below freezing all year round, the newly discovered lakes are most likely fed by melting surface water draining
through cracks in the ice.
Emanating
from cracks in the ice at Enceladus» south pole, these water plumes gush into space at speeds up to 800 mph.
Although only a tiny fraction of the ice shelf melts, the water infiltrates the shelf through
small cracks in the ice.
They discovered potentially revelatory harmonic properties of ice quakes, which are minor rumbles produced
when cracks in the ice are reshaped by water flowing through them.
The water flows down
into cracks in the ice, its weight forcing the cracks wider until large sections of the shelf shatter with surprising quickness.
Still, like the
first cracks in the ice of late winter, North Korean leader Kim Jong - un's symbolic step into South Korea may be a harbinger of change.
Spring has started to melt a way through the giant frozen expanse of this archipelago in western Finland, as
cracks in the ice turn into rust - coloured pools around wooden jetties in a sign of the coming summer.
But Zwally and his team used stretches of the Southern Ocean that are exposed
between cracks in the ice, and Scambos worries that these pools are not as still as they seem.
There are also similar features near the south pole of Enceladus, the moon of Saturn that is spewing water into space from
cracks in an ice shell.

shows cracks in ice near the Ferrigno and Alison ice streams in Antarctica seen from the IceBridge DC - 8, Oct. 25, 2012.
A
colossal crack in this ice shelf, known as Larsen C, abruptly grew by 18 kilometers (11 miles) during the second half of December 2016.
Doesn't that support the theory of flow being primarily lubricated by geothermal influence rather than meltwater — especially in the center regions where there are
less cracks in the ice and less melting at the surface during the summer (if any)?
They posit that ponds of melt water present on the icy surface in late summer (the result of climate warming in the area) enhance fracturing of the shelf by filling
small cracks in the ice.
Scientists have found that on the Greenland Ice Sheet, the melt water penetrates
through cracks in the ice down to the bedrock.
The mixture of ammonia and cyanide, normally colorless, had deepened to amber, highlighting a web
of cracks in the ice.
This includes the German Neumayer Station III or the British station, Halley VI, which was closed for winter this year due to
a crack in the ice.
Those striations are
cracks in the ice.
The geysers loft dust through
the cracks in the ice sheet to the surface where it is believed surface winds subsequently sculpted the material into the dark fans observed from orbit.
As developed market investors ignore
the cracks in the ice & enjoy increasingly easy gains, they have less & less desire to re-direct their money into exotic & dangerous markets... like Korea!
If you are stating that
the crack in the ice proves that the warming is anthropogenic, then I am not following your logic.
When we first arrived at base camp at the beginning of April,
the crack in the ice block on the West Ridge was pretty small — now it is probably between 5 and 7 metres wide.
Cracks in the Ice is an online toolkit providing evidence - based information and resources about ice (crystal methamphetamine), and where and when to get help.
