国内初の氷河のお墨付き（Guarantee of the first glacier in domestic ）

北アルプス・立山連峰にある３つの氷塊が国内で初めて確認された氷河であるという論文が、５月に発行される日本雪氷学会（東京）の学会誌に掲載されることが４日分かった。国内初の氷河だと学会のお墨付きを得た。
立山カルデラ砂防博物館（富山県立山町）が昨秋、全地球測位システム（ＧＰＳ）を使って、立山の小窓雪渓、三ノ窓雪渓、御前沢雪渓の３つの氷塊（長さ約700～1200メートル）がゆっくりと動いていることを確認。３つの氷塊は年間を通じて移動する「氷河」である可能性が高いという調査結果を論文にまとめ、学会に提出していた。
その後、専門家２人により、論文の信ぴょう性が認められ、学会誌「雪氷」に掲載が決まった。学会誌編集委員長の石本さんは「最新機材を使って氷塊の動きをより具体的に調べており、研究価値が高い」と話した。
氷河は、これまで極東アジアではロシアのカムチャツカ半島が南限とされていた。立山が豪雪地帯で、風下に続く深い谷などの影響で雪が残りやすいため、氷河形成の条件が重なったとみられる。存在しないといわれていた氷河が日本にもあったんですね。いつ頃から形成されていたんでしょうかね。疑問は尽きないですね。


In the part on 4, it cut that the paper that three 氷塊 in the north Alps and the Tateyama mountain range are the first glaciers to be checked at home is published at the academic journal of Japanese Society of Snow and Ice (Tokyo) published in May.
The guarantee of the society was obtained when it was the first glacier in domestic.
The Tateyama caldera erosion control museum (Tateyama-cho, Toyama) checks last autumn that three 氷塊 (about 700?1200 meters in length), the small window valley with year-long snow in Tateyama, a 3 ノ window valley with year-long snow, and the Maesawa valley with year-long snow, are moving slowly using Global Positioning System (GPS).
Three 氷塊 summarized the results of an investigation that a possibility of being the "glacier" where it moves through every year was high in the paper, and had submitted them to the society.
Then, the credibility of the paper was accepted by two specialists and it was decided that printing would be an academic journal "frozen snow."
The head of an academic journal member of editorial board, Mr. Ishimoto, said, "The motion of 氷塊 is more concretely investigated using the newest equipment, and research value is high."
In the glacier, Kamchatka in Russia was made into the south 限 in Far East Asia until now.
In order that snow may remain easily under the influence of the deep valley etc. where Tateyama follows on the lee in a heavy snowfall area, it is concluded that the conditions of glacier formation overlapped.
Was the glacier said not to exist located also in Japan?
From about what time was it formed?
A question is the shin without being exhausted.
