Over the Glacier

08 Jan 2014 6 4 475
Even icebergs 50M high look small from a helicopter! Flying above a heavily crevassed glacier, en route to the edge of the Plateau. Our ship (see note) is behind the central iceberg. This gives at least some feel for the immensity of Antarctica. Suggest changing "Location" to satellite view for a useful indication of place.

Looking south over the plateau

From an old slide. From the helicopter the contours of the plateau ice become more visible, as do the flow lines and the areas of crevassing. The coastal ice cliffs are about 30 metres/100 ft high. Our journey inland on the Spring Trip took us approximately in the direction of this photo (though away from the foreground crevassing).
