Nordenskjold Ice Tongue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nordenskjold Ice Tongue () is a broad glacier tongue extending eastward from the Mawson Glacier into the Ross Sea in Antarctica.
Discovered by the Discovery expedition (1901-04) and named for Otto Nordenskiöld. Although this feature is a glacier tongue, the generic term ice tongue is retained in the name to reduce ambiguity.
