Geocache Description:


Hidden for the WI DNR Free Weekend. This is one cache in a series of 4 and one of 3 needed to find the final cache for the 'King of the Glacier' series.

Make sure to right the clue down to find the final. You should be able to find it both on the lid and/or the log book.

Below information is from the Glacier Wiki Page about Glacial motion: Link

"Glaciers move, or flow, downhill due to gravity and the internal deformation of ice. Ice behaves like a brittle solid until its thickness exceeds about 50 m (160 ft). The pressure on ice deeper than 50 m causes plastic flow. At the molecular level, ice consists of stacked layers of molecules with relatively weak bonds between layers. When the stress on the layer above exceeds the inter-layer binding strength, it moves faster than the layer below.

Glaciers also move through basal sliding. In this process, a glacier slides over the terrain on which it sits, lubricated by the presence of liquid water. The water is created from ice that melts under high pressure from frictional heating. Basal sliding is dominant in temperate, or warm-based glaciers."
