It, too, is a place lost in time. For most people, a visit to Beardmore Camp is a trip back in history, whether to the original camp structure from 19 years ago, now buried under snow, or to the sites of ancient forests and bones, now buried under rock. Ever since Robert Scott collected fos- sils on his way back down the Beardmore Glacier in February 1912, geologists and paleontologists have had an interest in the rocky outcrops lining the broad river of ice.

  • Glacier Caves: a Globally Threatened Subterranean Biome
    Francis G. Howarth. Glacier caves: a globally threatened subterranean biome. Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, v. 83, no. 2, p. 66-70. DOI:10.4311/2019LSC0132 GLACIER CAVES: A GLOBALLY THREATENED SUBTERRANEAN BIOME Francis G. Howarth1 Abstract Caves and cave-like voids are common features within and beneath glaciers. The physical environment is harsh and extreme, and often considered barren and devoid of life. However, accumulating evidence indicates that these caves may support a diverse invertebrate fauna with species endemic to each region. As glaciers continue to disappear at an alarming rate due to global warming, they take their largely unknown fauna with them. Thus, glacier caves may harbor one of the most endangered ecosystems globally, and yet their biodiversity is among the least studied or known. Faunal surveys and ecological studies are urgently needed before all examples are lost. INTRODUCTION Glacier caves are voids within and beneath glaciers that are formed mostly by surface meltwater sinking into the glacier through crevasses, moulins, and fissures (Piccini and Mecchia, 2013; Smart, 2003; Kováč, 2018; Gulley and Fountain, 2019). Glacier caves can be enlarged by geothermal melting (Kiver and Mumma, 1971; Giggenbach, 1976), as well as by pressure and friction at the contact between the ice and bedrock. These caves are created by natural phenomena during the life of the glacier and are common features in glaciers. They are best developed in montane gla- ciers in comparison to polar glaciers, largely because of the steeper gradient, greater flow rate, and seasonally warmer temperatures (Smart, 2003). The cave structure is dynamic; for example, changing shape and course as the glacier flows downslope; enlarging during warm periods; and collapsing and deforming under pressure.

  • Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance
    9-803-127 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2010 NANCY F. KOEHN Leadership in Crisis: Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. — Sir Raymond Priestley, Antarctic Explorer and Geologist On January 18, 1915, the ship Endurance, carrying a highly celebrated British polar expedition, froze into the icy waters off the coast of Antarctica. The leader of the expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton, had planned to sail his boat to the coast through the Weddell Sea, which bounded Antarctica to the north, and then march a crew of six men, supported by dogs and sledges, to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent (see Exhibit 1).1 Deep in the southern hemisphere, it was early in the summer, and the Endurance was within sight of land, so Shackleton still had reason to anticipate reaching shore. The ice, however, was unusually thick for the ship’s latitude, and an unexpected southern wind froze it solid around the ship. Within hours the Endurance was completely beset, a wooden island in a sea of ice. More than eight months later, the ice still held the vessel. Instead of melting and allowing the crew to proceed on its mission, the ice, moving with ocean currents, had carried the boat over 670 miles north.2 As it moved, the ice slowly began to soften, and the tremendous force of distant currents alternately broke apart the floes—wide plateaus made of thousands of tons of ice—and pressed them back together, creating rift lines with huge piles of broken ice slabs.

Numerical models predict that discharge from the polar ice sheets will become the largest contributor to sea level rise over the coming centuries. However, the predicted amount of ice discharge and associated thinning depends on how well ice sheet models reproduce glaciological processes, such as ice flow in regions of large topographic relief, where ice flows around bedrock summits (i.e. nunataks) and through outlet glaciers. The ability of ice sheet models to capture long-term ice loss is 5 best tested by comparing model simulations against geological data. A benchmark for such models is ice surface elevation change, which has been constrained empirically at nunataks and along margins of outlet glaciers using cosmogenic exposure dating.
