  • Waves of ice on the Gorner Glacier (Switzerland) are described. These finally assume an appearance very similar to the ice pyramids of the Himalaya. The author shows that the former originate as avalanche snow which remains above the general surface of the glacier through its lightness and greater resistance to ablation than the denser glacier ice, and suggests, as do Visser and others, that some Himalayan ice pyramids also originate as avalanche snow.

  • Drs. Orowan and Perutz have shown that glacier ice does not behave as a viscous fluid but is plastic like all crystalline materials. The present author discusses two observed types of ice flow:—(1) the normal, regular streaming flow in slow-moving glaciers; (2) Block-Schollen movement in swiftly flowing ice. Mention is made of the shear plane or laminar flow theory of Philipp. lt appears that Orowan s thesis is also applicable to Block-Schollen flow. The author agrees with Orowan on the fundamental point that when ice is subjected to shear stress a critical value of the shear stress exists beyond which the ice alters its consistency. But the author disagrees with Orowan in that he believes that below this critical value ice behaves as a viscous material, and he supports this view by reference to many phenomena, measurements and calculations.
