Byrd Glacier Exhibit

A physical model of this visualization is on display at the National Geographic Explorers Hall Museum in Washington D.C. 'Byrd Glacier plunges through a deep valley in the Transatlantic Mountains and onto the Ross Ice Shelf, dropping more than 4,300 feet over a distance of 112 miles. It remains a distinct ice stream all the way to the edge of the shelf, some 260 miles from the foot of the mountains to the open sea.' -National Geographic Magazine, February 2002
