The Nimrod Glacier flowing around an ice peak
This detailed picture, enclosing an area of 30 kilometres, obtained with the TerraSAR-X radar satellite shows the Antarctic Nimrod Glacier flowing around the Kon-Tiki Nunatak, a rock protruding through the ice sheet. It is even possible to see the fissures in the glacier’s main body.
