Icy abstract

Another copied slide from 1966, which I don't believe I've previously posted here. This is an image of a very thin slice of glacial ice, taken with backlighting and a polarising filter on a special viewer in the Mawson glaciology lab, and showing the ice crystals and entrapped air bubbles.
