Fente de gel. Le gel provoque la fissuration de la surface du sol, en raison du coefficient de dilatation élevé de la glace; si les températures sont suffisamment basses, des réseaux de fentes de rétraction peuvent se former, ressemblant à celles que l'on observe dans les mares asséchées. La profondeur des fentes peut atteindre plusieurs mètres et leur espacement est variable. 4, record 1, French, - fente%20de%20gel
