Your link does not cover the dry-snow to glacial-ice density. It only covers the wet-snow to water for which it is correct.

A better reference is: Colbeck, S. C. 1980. Dynamics of snow and ice masses. Academic press NY.

Dry snow (as occurs in Greenland) has a specific gravity of .01 whereas glacial ice (not the firn) has a specific gravity of .91.

You really need to learn the difference between water and ice.

Caught in a lie you try to continue with it through semantics and obfuscation. Ice is thicker than water. Therefore any compression of the snow will result in less than the 1 to 10 ratio of snow to water - as I already pointed out. Your 1 to 90 could have been called a mistake before this last post, but it can no longer be called that. You are intentionally making up stuff in an effort to deceive.
