Summary
| Description |
English: A cryoconite hole on top of Taylor Glacier. Cryoconite holes are a water-filled cylindrical melt-holes on glacial ice surfaces. They are formed when dark-colored material such as dirt is deposited on the ice surface. The material absorbs solar radiation and causes the ice to melt, eventually forming a hole. Cryoconite holes are home to small ecosystems with living microorganisms. |
