Abstract
As part of a program to study surge-type glaciers, a radar-depth survey, using a frequency of 620 mhz, was made of Trapridge Glacier, Yukon Territory. Soundings were taken at 26 locations on the glacier surface and a maximum ice thickness of 143 m was measured. A rapid change in surface slope in the lower ablation region marks the boundary between active and stagnant ice and is suggestive of an 'ice dam' or the water 'collection zone' postulated by Robin and Weertman for surging glaciers.
