(Australian Antarctic Division (Photo: Paul Brown, Australian Maritime College)) Scientists at institutions in the United States and Australia on Friday published a set of unprecedented ocean observations near the largest glacier of the largest ice sheet in the world: Totten glacier, East Antarctica. And the result was a troubling confirmation of what scientists already feared â Totten is melting from below.
Glaciers are also found in Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Canada, Alaska, and even South America (the Andes), California (the Sierra Nevada), and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. As tiny air bubbles are eventually forced out by the increasing pressure the glacier appears blue, a sign of highly dense, airless ice.
