🧪 Glacier Crevasse Field - 2D Longitudinal Section, Plan View and Nye Depth

2D companion of the glacier crevasse lab: a longitudinal section and plan view of a glacier speeding up over a bed step, crevasse depth from Glen's flow law and the Nye criterion, water-filled hydrofracture, and crevasses advected and closed by ice flow.
