Tabular iceberg

Banding of ice clearly seen in this closeup view of a tabular iceberg. The horizontal bands of ice are similar to stratigraphic layers in rock formations and can be dated under certain circumstances when the ice is still in place.

Ice, rock, snow, and ocean dominate the Antarctic Peninsula landscape.

Report by Charles L. Roberts, Meteorologist in Charge at Cape Hallett, Antarctica Joint United States-New Zealand Station. This station was established in support of the International Geophysical Year and had scientists over-winter from 1957 until 1964. This base was abandoned for good in 1973.
