It’s fascinating—each crystal is a tiny laboratory of physics. The way cracks propagate tells you a lot about stress, temperature gradients, and even the history of the ice sheet. I keep a log of the morphology patterns; it’s the only way to see the subtle shifts that could signal larger changes in the polar environment. Keep watching those micro‑folds; they’re a window into the big picture.

I’ll send you my most recent set of measurements once I finish the current batch. The data might give us a clearer idea of how those micro‑cracks evolve over time. Looking forward to seeing what patterns emerge from your observations.
