Glaciers of Antarctica

This group collects the Glaciers and Ice Formations subcategory's members located on the Antarctic continent or its immediate sub-Antarctic islands: named outlet glaciers and ice streams of East and West Antarctica, ice shelves such as those bordering the Ross Sea, ice-free dry valleys including the McMurdo Dry Valleys, and glacier features on South Georgia, the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. Antarctica carries a disproportionate share of the subcategory's named glacial features, so grouping it separately from the other continents keeps the browse page usable at scale.
