Regelation is the phenomenon of melting under pressure and freezing again when the pressure is reduced. Many sources state that regelation can be demonstrated by looping a fine wire around a block of ice, with a heavy weight attached to it. The pressure exerted on the ice slowly melts it locally, permitting the wire to pass through the entire bloc...

Phenomenon in which water refreezes to ice after it has been melted by pressure at a temperature below the normal freezing point of water. Pressure makes an ice skate, for example, form a film of water that freezes once again after the skater has passed
