Photo - position of Ice Tongue

I'm not sure that the position of the Ice Tongue is marked correctly on the satellite image - I think it is actually slightly further to the north (i.e. towards the bottom-right of this image)...

I checked the position of the Drygalski ice tongue, and it is located exactly where it says. You can actually see the deteriorating outer part quite clearly in the image. In visible images such as this the ice tongue can be quite hard to distinguish from sea ice, and therefore does not appear as clearly as in radar images. - Leif Toudal.

It is not clear to me exactly which date the image was acquired,


B-15 isn't the largest iceberg on record. This article, from usatoday.com describes an iceberg roughly 3 times the size that broke off in 1956. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/coldscience/2005-01-20-1956-antarctic-iceberg_x.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.227.225.51 (talk) 05:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
