 | Cryology; Hydrosphere; Ice; Icebergs; Sea Ice | This image shows numerous icebergs breaking out of the sea ice in the Southern Ocean surrounding the Antarctic Peninsula. The icebergs are drifting out of the Weddell Sea and are likely to be moved north and east by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, or West Wind Drift. The Antarctic Peninsula is seen to the left, which reaches out into the Drake Passage, which separates the southern tip of South America from Antarctica. |
