regelation

Then again, what I have described as 'intrusive layers of blue ice' was a remarkable feature; one could imagine that these layers represent surfaces which have been transformed by regelation under hot sun and wind.

From Scott's Last Expedition Volume I by Robert Falcon Scott

These facts are the exact complements of those of "regelation;" for here, two moist surfaces of ice being brought into close contact, their liquid liberty is destroyed and the surfaces freeze together.

From The Glaciers of the Alps Being a narrative of excursions and ascents, etc. by John Tyndall

When the attachments of pressed ice are broken, the continuity of the mass is restored by the regelation of the new contiguous surfaces.

From The Glaciers of the Alps Being a narrative of excursions and ascents, etc. by John Tyndall

Although the effect of pressure is so small, it produces, as is well known, remarkable results in the motion of glaciers, the moulding and regelation of ice, and many other phenomena.

The conclusion was afterwards experimentally verified by Sir William Thomson, and served to explain all the phenomena of regelation.
