Review of published descriptions of drumlin fields suggests that the following conditions are important to drumlin growth: (1) compressive longitudinal and possibly extending transverse strain rates in the ice, (2) thin ice such as occurs near the glacier margin, and (3) high pore-water pressure in the subglacial sediments.  3, record 1, English, - drumlin%20field

Sand-wedge polygons (tesselations) in the McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica...- A microrelief pattern of polygons 20 to 40 feet in diameter occurs in the perennially frozen ground of the glacierfree lowlands of the McMurdo Sound region ... They are similar to ice-wedge polygons in the Arctic except that they are in ground devoid of vegetation and are outlined by textural changes in the soil between the inter-polygonal furrow and the enclosed polygonal areas. The term 'sand wedge' polygon is here proposed for this widespread phenomenon. ... Suggested origin of the polygons and sand wedges is similar to the origin of foliated ice wedges and polygons in the Arctic.  4, record 4, English, - sand%2Dwedge%20polygon

A low, smoothly rounded, elongate hill of compact glacial till, or rarely other kinds of drift, built under the margin of the ice and shaped by its flow, or carved out of an older moraine by readvancing ice; its longer axis is parallel to the direction of movement of the ice.
