The major difference between the ice that Dr. Stewart is climbing and the nearby ice likely lies in their structural integrity and stability. The ice Dr. Stewart is on may be more solid and well-frozen, providing a safer climbing surface, while the nearby ice could be more fragile, potentially due to factors like temperature changes, melting, or exposure to sunlight.
