regelation

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

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

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

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

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