GLACIERS AND ICEBERGS
In the Arctic and Antarctic regions
as well as in the various ranges of
mountains on the surface of the earth
there is what is known as a snow line,
!Above this snow -line the tempera-
ture is below freezing point, and as
the snow which forms is solid, it ac-
cumulates in .snow field's. The snow
of one year is covered by that of the
next, and so on and onh
t rough the
years until a glacier or river of ,ice is
formed.
!Hence a glacier is really a mass o'f
compact ice and can 'form anywhere
on the earth's surface where this is
above the snow -line, no matter wheth-
er it be in lthe Aactic 'regions or high
above sea level in the mountainous
countries like Switzerland and Nor-
way.
Now if these piles of snow' were ri-
gid an Immovable, d I
ovablle it would be a
very serious thing for us all, for the
glaciers would grow and grow until
they actually crushed in the crusts of
the earth.
Nature is very wonderful and has
no intention of Netting such an un-
pleasant thing occur. ISo, when There
is sufficient'weight, the mac sof snow
or ice yields to ,pressure and moves
slowly outwards and downwards, The
glacier !flows gnadaially 'downhill.
Enormous cracks 'or "erev'asses,"
as they are called; are formed by the
progress of the glacier, also ice caves
in the famous 'M'oiiteratsch'Gl•acier in
Switzerland, where there are Hong ice
passages,.gratefully visited by tourists)
on hot summer days.
The surplus of ice in the polar re-
gions is carried away in the form of
icebergs, 'those ,terrible lumps iofl
floating ice which are such a danger
to ships, and in the mountain regions
by Streams that flow from the 'melting,
ends of the glaciers,
[One of The greatest glaciers is
kmiwn as the Taku Gtaci,er, and here
'huge masses of ice weighing 'thous-
ands of tons are ,breaking off into :the
sea every year.
Fresh 'Supplies in •Dermoid -Where-
ever Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil has
been introduced increased supplies
