Ninnis Glacier seabed topography, Antarctica. Topography of the seabed and land in the area of the Ninnis Glacier, Antarctica. Elevation is colour-coded from maximum depths (dark blue) to highest elevations (red/brown). Ninnis Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier located on King George V Land in East Antarctica. It's tongue, which flows into the Southern Ocean, has lost around two thirds of its area since 1913. This image was created by the Antarctic BedMachine mapping project. BedMachine uses satellite data on ice flow motion to estimate what lies between ice thickness radar soundings. Understanding the underlying topography helps predict rates of ice loss and sea level rise associated with climate change. | |
