A thermally complex glacier with both warm and cold ice. Typically, warm ice occurs where the ice is thickest as a result of geothermal heating, whilst the snout and margins of the glacier are frozen to the bed. 3, record 11, English, - warm%20ice

L’apparition d’une poche d’eau dans un glacier sous-tend le fait que la partie du glacier où elle se développe est tempérée, c’est-à-dire que la glace est à son point de fusion. La limite entre la glace froide et la glace tempérée se situe, dans les Alpes, aux environs de 4000 m d’altitude (plus ou moins quelques centaines de mètres selon l’exposition, et aussi l’épaisseur du glacier : un glacier très épais peut être froid en surface et tempéré à sa base). 3, record 11, French, - glace%20temp%C3%A9r%C3%A9e

The RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Mission (AMM) has important significance for the scientific community. Almost 70% of the Earth's fresh water is contained in the Antarctic region, and changes in this enormous reservoir directly influence world sea levels and climate. The new digital radar map will provide an unprecedented detailed portrayal of the surface form and features of the ice sheet. This RADARSAT based map will help scientists to better understand the dynamic behaviour of the ice sheet and provide them with a greater insight into the effects of human activity on the Southern Continent. 2, record 14, English, - Antarctic%20Mapping%20Mission

Ces courants couvrent une vaste portion de l'inlandsis de l'ouest de l'Antarctique. Ils ont fait l'objet de nombreux travaux de recherche sur la stabilité de l'inlandsis et les effets éventuels des variations de l'écoulement des glaces sur le niveau des mers du globe. Les données d’interférométrie captées par RADARSAT permettront de mieux comprendre le mouvement de ces courants glaciaires. Dans le cadre de missions futures, il sera possible de surveiller de près l'écoulement des glaces et de détecter les changements comme jamais auparavant. 1, record 21, French, - donn%C3%A9e%20d%27interf%C3%A9rom%C3%A9trie
