Crevasse (Glaciology 🗻)
A crevasse is a deep crack that forms in a glacier or ice sheet. Crevasses form as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress generated when two semi-rigid pieces above a plastic substrate have different rates of movement. The resulting intensity of the shear stress causes a breakage along the faces.

Underwater #robot finds new circulation pattern in #Antarctic ice shelf https://phys.org/news/2023-10-underwater-robot-circulation-pattern-antarctic.html
Direct observations of #melting, freezing, and #OceanCirculation in an ice shelf basal crevasse https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adi7638
"The remotely operated #Icefin robot's climb up and down a crevasse... revealed a new circulation pattern—a jet funneling water sideways through the #crevasse—in addition to rising and sinking currents, and diverse #IceFormations shaped by shifting flows and temperatures."
