Photo 16 Jul 44 notes climateadaptation: Byrd Glacier, Antarctica. Named after American Antarctic explorer Richard E. Byrd, West Antarctica’s Byrd Glacier flows through a deep valley in the Transantarctic Mountains, covering a distance of 180 kilometers (112 miles) and descending more than 1,300 meters (4,300 feet) as it flows into the Ross Ice Shelf. The fast-moving stream is one of the largest contributors to the shelf’s total ice volume. NASA
