🧪 Glacier Fracture

This simulation allows you to explore the complex forces at play when a glacier breaks apart – specifically focusing on how temperature gradients and internal stresses contribute to fracturing and calving events. By manipulating parameters like ice thickness and thermal conductivity, you can observe the dynamic processes shaping these massive ice formations.
