Horizontal thin sections from samples deformed at Pc=5 MPa and s = 15 MPa (loading direction is perpendicular to the page). Sections are viewed between crossed polarizing filters alone, and between crossed polarizing filters with additional side lighting. Samples were deformed to strains of 4% (a), 10% (b) and 44% (c). Scale is in mm.
Enlarged view of thin sections from Plate 4. Samples were deformed to strains of 4% (a), 10% (b) and 44% (c). Scale is in mm.
Vertical thin sections from samples deformed at Pc=5 MPa and s = 15 MPa (loading direction is horizontal on the page). Sections are viewed between crossed polarizing filters alone, and between crossed polarizing filters with additional side lighting. Samples were deformed to strains of 4% (a),10% (b) and 44% (c). Scale is in mm.

Contact face at the end of indentation test 7 at Hobson’s Choice ice island, 1989, from Frederking and others (1990).
(a) Horizontal thick section of TRF-01 indentation test, Hobson’s Choice ice island, 1990, from Meaney (1992). Caliper was extended to 150 mm for scale. (b) Typical front view of test face, following indentation test, from Meaney (1992). Failure region was divided into three general zones: (i) spalled areas Z1, (ii) zones of pulverized ice, Z2, and (iii) zones of no distinct pulverized layer, Z3.
