below is a video that describes many of the things we do while in the field. You will hear two words in the video which you probably don't know, Pukak, and Depth Hoar.
Yes they do sound funny, but they are actually two different names for the same type of snow. The former is Inuit and the latter, is well, just misguided. Both terms describe the snow normally found at the bottom layer of the snow pack which have deconstructed their original crystal structures, and have reformed in a larger, ice-like faceted structure.
