Several ice wedges connected together create a pattern in the ground called an ice-wedge polygon. ... A high-centred polygon develops when plant material eventually fills the central wetland area of a low-centred polygon. The flow of water is reversed. Instead of pooling in the centre of the polygon, water now runs off into the bordering troughs. 3, record 2, English, - high%2Dcentred%20polygon

Plusieurs coins de glace reliés créent dans le sol ce qu'on appelle un polygone. [...] Un polygone convexe se développe lorsque le matériau végétal finit par remplir la zone humide centrale d'un polygone concave. L'eau s'écoule en sens contraire : au lieu de s'accumuler au centre du polygone, elle se dirige maintenant dans les fossés adjacents. 1, record 2, French, - polygone%20convexe
