Deformed Till

Caption

This photo shows how experiments to simulate the huge forces involved in glacial flow deform the till underneath a ring of ice. The beads were placed vertically in the till -- a glacially deposited mix of mud, sand and rock particles -- but have been moved by the motion of ice.
