Fimbul Ice Shelf

The Fimbul Ice Shelf is an Antarctic ice shelf about 200 kilometres long and 100 kilometres wide, fed by the Jutulstraumen Glacier and bordering the coast of Queen Maud Land between roughly 3 degrees west and 3 degrees east. It was first photographed from the air by the Third German Antarctic Expedition of 1938 to 1939, later mapped by Norwegian cartographers using survey and air-photo data from the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1949 to 1952 and a Norwegian expedition of 1958 to 1959, and was named Fimbulisen, meaning the giant ice.
