The top of the ice remains very cold, but the bot om is warmed slightly by heat escaping from the interior of the earth. Finally, the combined effect of pressure from the thickening cap and geothermal warming below melts the ice at the bottom. This...
...Wilson believes that this has happened several times and that the cycles of warmth and cold will continue until some movement of the earth's crust shifts the Antarctic continent away from the freezing temperatures of the South Pole. Just how soon the glaciers will spread out again over the Northern Hemisphere, he does...
