(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.
At 76 km (47 mi) long, it is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. It falls from an altitude of 5,753 m (18,875 ft) above sea level at its head at Indira Col on the China border down to 3,620 m (11,875 ft) at its terminus. Entire Siachen Glacier with all major passes is currently under administration of India since 1984, while Pakistan controls region west of Saltoro Ridge.
