Self-organized columnar morphology at millimetre scale of ice crystals frozen from mud: preliminary observations.
Author(s) : GUY B.
Summary
The freezing of aqueous mud may lead to a separation of ice crystals from the mud. Ice crystals form regular needles parallel to each other (basaltic structure). The diameter of ice fibres is millimetric to inframillimetric and the length is centimetric to decimetric. The fibres develop perpendicular to the surface of the ground (horizontal or with some slope). The pure ice crystals are covered by a dense mud cap. Some suggestions are proposed to explain these phenomena. Further theoretical or experimental studies are needed.
