1796Eis-blink [see iceblink 2]. 1870Q. Jrnl. Geol. Soc. XXVI. 679 Here the ‘Iisblink’, or the ‘ice glance’, of the Danes (i.e. the projecting glacier—though English seamen use the word iceblink in a totally different sense, meaning thereby the ‘loom’ of ice at a distance), projects bodily out to sea for more than a mile. 1880Encyl. Brit. XI. 167/2 If..the sea is shallow, the glacier will protrude for a considerable distance, as in the case of the Isblink. 1957J. K. Charlesworth Quaternary Era I. iv. 72 For this type [sc. continental ice-sheet] there is almost universal assent: it constitutes O. Nordenskiöld's ‘continental glaciers’, Hobbs' ‘ice-cap type’, and the ‘inland ice’ of Drygalski, Ferrar and Gourdon. Early writers, following H. Rink (1851), named it Isblink from the peculiar light seen over the inland ice when approached from the sea. |
