Glaciers and Ice Formations

Erebus Glacier is a glacier on Ross Island, Antarctica, that drains the lower southern slopes of Mount Erebus and flows west to Erebus Bay, where it forms the floating Erebus Glacier Tongue. It was named by the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901 to 1904, led by Robert Falcon Scott, in association with Mount Erebus.
