Passing past the tongue of the Erebus Glacier on a ski-doo, I stopped and snapped this image. The Erebus Ice Tongue is a mountain outlet glacier and the seaward extension of Erebus Glacier from Ross Island. It projects 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) into McMurdo Sound from the Ross Island coastline near Cape Evans, Antarctica. The glacier tongue varies in thickness from 50 metres (160 ft) at the snout to 300 metres (980 ft) at the point where it is grounded on the shoreline.Explorers from Robert F. Scott's Discovery Expedition (1901–1904) named and charted the ice tongue.
