Abstract
Anchor ice. All submerged ice attached to the bottom irrespective of the nature of its formation. Barrier ice, or Shelf ice. A form of land ice or land ice afloat, produced by an accumulation of horizontal layers of snow which has reached the intermediate opaque névé or firn stage before passing into true glacier ice. Portions of the barrier break off to form tabular bergs.Keywords
