Taylor Glacier

Taylor Glacier is a polar glacier in Antarctica, extending about 35 nautical miles (65 kilometers) as it flows from the Victoria Land plateau into Taylor Valley, north of the Kukri Hills. It is known for Blood Falls, an iron oxide stained saltwater outflow discovered in 1911, and for being a cold based glacier, meaning its base stays frozen rather than sliding over bedrock the way most glaciers around the world do. Its unusual thermal regime has made it a long running subject of glaciology research.
