No - indeed, all of the physical, thermal and electrical
properties of "regular icebox ice" and glacier ice are
identical: density, viscosity, heat of fusion, latent heat,
heat capacity, dielectric constant, thermal conductivity,
absorption, emissivity, etc. The few small differences in
characteristics are solely due to grain size differences.
NOTE: High pressure forms of ice with different properties
have been produced in laboratory experiments, but none occur
naturally on earth, not even at the base of the Antarctic or
Greenland ice sheets. |
