Abstract
Thermal drilling and deep ice-temperature measurements along a flow line in a surge area of the Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island, N.W.T., Canada revealed a layer of basal temperate ice 30 m thick. Marginal areas were determined to be frozen to bedrock and geothermal heat flow estimated to be 1.02 μcal/cm2s (42 mW/m2).Keywords
