Calving Front of the Fleming Glacier

Caption

This image shows the calving front of the Fleming Glacier, which fed into the Wordie Ice Shelf before it collapsed in the late 1980s. One can clearly discern the high calving activity characterising the post-collapse period. Picture taken during a NASA IceBridge measurement flight on Nov. 17, 2011.
