Image of the Week - Antarctica’s Blue Ice

Antarctica’s interior is circled by glacial ice flows that move outward from the frozen continent’s surface.



Imagery collected over Antarctica by satellites like Landsat is typically marked by highly reflective snow and ice, but isolated pockets of wind-swept glacial ice glow with a distinct blue.
