how quickly does the water freeze in the glacier?

wow, great questions, water or ice does not have large magnetic properties so they do not affect the earths field by very much if at all. although I have not verified that. the ice on the glacier is melting right now so i did not see it freeze, but the ice at the bottom of the glacier moves into the cavity about a meter a day.
