regelation

Mr. James Thomson had referred regelation to the cold produced by the liquefaction of the pressed ice; but in the above experiment all pressure is not only taken away, but is replaced by tension.

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

It is formed in water, and not from the cementing and regelation of the powdery crystalline snow, as is glacier ice.

From More Science From an Easy Chair by Sir E. Ray (Edwin Ray) Lankester

But this theory of regelation, although unquestionably true, and although it exercises some influence on glacier motion, does not, in my opinion, alone account for it.

From Rivers of Ice by R. M. (Robert Michael) Ballantyne

There is nothing new in it, except a few additional pages about "regelation," and also "gravity."

From Personal Recollections, from Early Life to Old Age, of Mary Somerville by Mary Somerville

Indeed, it was new welded by regelation since the sun’s rays had disappeared.
