From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Institute Ice Stream () is an ice stream flowing north into Ronne Ice Shelf, southeast of Hercules Inlet. The feature was traversed by the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Ellsworth-Byrd Seismic Party, 1958-59, and the USARP-University of Wisconsin Seismic Party, 1963-64. It was delineated by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and in association with Foundation Ice Stream and Support Force Glacier, named after the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, England.
