Upwelling of glacier ice

Dunder the weight of the snow that accumulates,

the neviza hardens, the pores disappear and the

different grains melt, the snow first turns into a

whitish ice (due to the presence of air bubbles)

that then becomes more compact, transparent and

bluish called glacial ice.

In the regions of snow accumulation and the formation

of a glacier in the neviza basin, a gradual

transition can be observed (in the vertical section)

that goes from a mass of porous snow to the compact

ice of the glacier, up to 1,000 years ).
