Stagnant Ice at the Bed of White Glacier, Axel Heiberg Island. N.W.T., Canada

  • Blatter, H.
  • Summary
A total of 400 soundings along 15 profiles were obtained on White Glacier, Axel Heiberg Island, N.W.T. with a monopulse radar equipment that was rebuilt according to a model of the US Geological Survey. The resulting data allowed maps to be compiled of the ice thickness for the glacier tongue, The radio echo-sounding data and englacial temperature measurements give some indication of the existence of stagnant ice in depressions of the glacier bed in the accumulation zone of White Glacier.
