If these unmanned drones can carry loads maybe we can use them as Sherpas carrying winter gear in to the east face of Tomyhoi

Who would win if Richard Branson took on Charles Bronson?

Also, how come there are no oil wells in Antarctica? Hmmm?

crazyjz, first of all you must be asleep at the wheel to not know that kettleholes can lso be formed in bedrock. you can see them today in any bedrock river reach. the normal explanation is that trapped stones eddy and grind out deep circular holes. with sediment-laden subglacial water and trapped boulders, Browning Lake is just a scaled-up example of the same thing. secondly, you are wilfully misunderstanding the sources cited. Somehow you fail to understand that there is no transport without erosion. In the "cjz" model subglacial water can transport sediment but magically can not erode? How odd. In the absence of subglacial water, as you note, deposition dominates and till builds up. Deposition is in fact the opposite of erosion so this is not a very convincing mechanism for your claim that subglacial erosion is a significant process in the absence of water. I realize that you don't deal with this much in petrology, so your confusion is understandable.

you will have better luck looking in the Mt Adams, I mean South Cascades forum.

No, what it's saying is that ice without water can't erode. Just look at Murrin Park. some of the most polished rock at Squamish. Why? Because Indian Canyon channeled subglacial water. Browning Lake is itself a giant kettlehole eroded subglacially.

Sounds like you have a couple weeks left where this will work! I haven't heard of a 'fundraising method' this good since the Kryptonite pen key trick. Remember how easy it was to get a free bicycle then?

This is from a lecture in 2003:

3.3 million years of devolution. I would like my gorilla-like shoulders back.

There is liquid water even under polar glaciers - Lake Vostok ring a bell?

you say plastic, i say viscous

What is an Extreme cam anyways? Am I good enough to own one or do I have to be having the most fun?

If it was correlation, not causation, the chickens would have been fatter to begin with. They weren't. You didn't read the original paper, did you?

Muir on Saturday?

psilocybin

"Incident at Twentymile", on the other hand, is funny.

Hey, adenoviruses have been proven to cause fat accumulation in chickens. It's repeatable science. Could be a good science fair project.

Why didn't you just miniaturize it and hide it in some Christmas presents for GI Joe?

Maybe your President kind of assumed something similar. Carbon dioxide is good in Pepsi, right, why not in the atmosphere?

We learned that in highschool. Maybe while you were taking a class in saluting the flag?

What do they TEACH in American schools these days

He means "The Eiger Sanction" by Trevanian. "Shibumi" is way better.

Striations are microscale. Microscale features are all that frozen rocks can do. Even there it is moving till, not moving ice, that makes the microfeatures... and the till is saturated. Dry till won't abrade worth shit. See at the bottom of a continental glacier the pressure is enough to plasticize both the rocks in the ice and the rock the ice is resting on. Can you wear through a brick of butter by rubbing it with margarine? Hell no. But run some water across it and it will melt. Same deal. How come you don't see any plucking or quarrying, say, in the Bypass Glacier cirque on Slesse? Cause there is not enough water. The ice is just a reservoir for the erosive water.
