THE CRUSHING STRENGTH OF ICE

ing point, ice is much more plastic than it is at lower temperatures. 

 The plastic effect is, however, masked by the regelation effect, and it 

 is a question whether the ice mass is not really firmer near the freezing 

 point than when cooled much below. This can, however, only be 

 settled by further experiment.
