Woodville Ice Cave (Hants County, Nova Scotia) And Notes On The “Ice Caves” Of The Canadian Maritimes, Max Moseley
Max Moseley
Several caves and sinkholes where snow and ice persist well into t he summer exist in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In the past they were sometimes used as a source of ice or for cold storage, and are known locally as 'ice caves' or 'ice holes'. Although they are not true ice caves i n the speleological sense o f the term because t hey do not contain p erenniailc e,t hey are very similar.W oodville l ce Cave in Hants County, Nova Scotia, described h ere,i s a particularly g ood e xample.

The Gypsum Karsts And Caves Of The Canadian Maritimes, Max Moseley
The Gypsum Karsts And Caves Of The Canadian Maritimes, Max Moseley
Max Moseley
The karst which has developed on the widespread Mississippian gypsum-anhydrite deposits of the Canadian Maritime provinces is described. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have large areas displaying all stages of erosion from drift covered through to cockpit karst. Caves are common, but small. Their morphological features, including certain forms that have not been reported before, are catalogued and described, and the nature of gypsum speleogenesis in the region is discussed. Cave passages are dominated by laughohlen ("leaching caves"), defined in the classic German South Harz gypsum region. These forms are probably atypical and relatively rare elsewhere. It is emphasised that …
