do these lines of fans mark pressure faults in the ice, or underlying geological features?

... or both of the above, or neither. There is much debate about your question and, as far as I know, the answer still needs to be found. This is another way of saying 'your guess is as good as mine'. Do you have a guess?

No, totally puzzled. Interesting if one could follow the view as the seasons progressed.

Indeed. There's a few of us here who would like to see that. My own 'working hypothesis' is that spider channels (body and legs) are closely related to landscape/topography, with the more webby/lace terrain being more 'governed' by icelayer properties. To get a feel for this idea, have a look at my profile and compare my collections 'Chain Spiders' and 'Linear Emissions Structures' (and any others you fancy)!
