Dans un glacier tempéré, la glace est à la température de fusion sous pression. La température interne de ces glaciers est près de 0 °C (pression et fusion s'équilibrent). Dans un glacier froid, la glace est sous la température de fusion sous pression. De tels glaciers se trouvent dans les régions polaires (température moyenne de -40 °C). 3, record 1, French, - temp%C3%A9rature%20de%20fusion%20sous%20pression
