An Entity of Type: Ice tongue, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Drygalski Ice Tongue or Drygalski Barrier or Drygalski Glacier Tongue is a glacier in Antarctica, on the Scott Coast, in the northern McMurdo Sound of Antarctica's Ross Dependency, 240 kilometres (150 mi) north of Ross Island. The Drygalski Ice Tongue is stable by the standards of Antarctica's icefloes, and stretches 70 kilometres (43 mi) out to sea from the David Glacier, reaching the sea from a valley in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land. The Drygalski Ice Tongue ranges from 14 to 24 kilometres (9 to 15 mi) wide.

  • Die Drygalski-Eiszunge (auch Drygalski-Barriere oder Drygalski-Gletscherzunge) ist eine Gletscherzunge in der Antarktis, die als Verlängerung des David-Gletschers an der Scott-Küste im Osten von Viktorialand in den McMurdo-Sund mündet. Die Eiszunge hat eine Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung von 14 bis 24 km und eine Länge von mehr als 48 km. Das Alter des Eises wird auf bis zu 4000 Jahre geschätzt. Entdeckt wurde die Eiszunge im Januar 1902 im Rahmen der Discovery-Expedition (1901–1904) vom britischen Polarforscher Robert Falcon Scott, der sie nach dem deutschen Polarforscher Erich von Drygalski (1865–1949) benannte, der zeitgleich die Gauß-Expedition nach Kaiser-Wilhelm-II.-Land leitete. Verwechslungsgefahr besteht mit dem Drygalski-Gletscher an der Ostküste des antarktischen Grahamlands. Im Mai 2005 brachen nach der Kollision des Eisbergs B-15 A zwei etwa 70 km² große Platten von der Drygalski-Eiszunge ab. Mit dem gleichfalls vom Ross-Schelfeis stammenden C-16 stieß Ende März 2006 ein weiterer Eisberg auf die Gletscherzunge, dabei wurde ein Fragment von mehr als 100 km² von dieser abgetrennt. (de)
  • The Drygalski Ice Tongue or Drygalski Barrier or Drygalski Glacier Tongue is a glacier in Antarctica, on the Scott Coast, in the northern McMurdo Sound of Antarctica's Ross Dependency, 240 kilometres (150 mi) north of Ross Island. The Drygalski Ice Tongue is stable by the standards of Antarctica's icefloes, and stretches 70 kilometres (43 mi) out to sea from the David Glacier, reaching the sea from a valley in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land. The Drygalski Ice Tongue ranges from 14 to 24 kilometres (9 to 15 mi) wide. Captain Robert Falcon Scott, leader of the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE) (1901-1904), discovered the Drygalski Ice Tongue in January 1902 and named it for Prof. Erich von Drygalski, a contemporary German explorer then in Antarctica. The glacier that feeds the ice tongue was named after Edgeworth David. David and Douglas Mawson crossed the ice tongue in 1908/09 as part of the Nimrod Expedition. The Terra Nova Northern Party expedition did the same in 1912 during their return journey to Cape Evans. The name Drygalski Ice Tongue is unusual as it is now common to give the same name to a glacier and its glacier tongue and refer to the seaward extension as a glacier tongue. The Drygalski Ice Tongue is thought to be at least 4,000 years old. The recent history of the combined glacier and ice tongue used analysis of rocks deposited along the margin of the David Glacier to identify a rapid thinning event initiated over 7,000 years ago that endured for ~ 2,000 years. The David Glacier grounding line, where the ice leaves the shore and begins to float, is in a depth of ~1900 m. The floating ice tongue itself is a significant factor contributing to the frequent formation of the Terra Nova Bay polynya. The polynya enables both production of sea ice and high salinity seawater. The floating ice is in places only 300 m thick with between 300 and 900 m of ocean beneath. The floating glacier also forms the southern bound of the Nansen Ice Shelf. This small ice shelf is subject to strong katabatic winds. It is also possibly to observe free-flowing melt-water on its surface in summer conditions. In 2016 a 30 km long section of the ice shelf calved to form two large icebergs. On March–April 2005, a 3,000 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi) iceberg designated B-15A hit the ice tongue breaking off two pieces, each with a surface area of about 70 square kilometres (27 sq mi). This iceberg is a remnant of Iceberg B-15, which calved from the Ross Ice Shelf in 2000. Scientists are also concerned for several penguin colonies which have been isolated from the open sea by the two large bodies of ice. At the end of March 2006, another iceberg coming from the Ross Ice Shelf, named C-16, hit the ice tongue breaking off another large piece (more than 100 square kilometres or 39 square miles). Both of these incidents are described in a study that benefited from the fortuitous presence of a GPS beacon on one of the icebergs. (en)
  • La langue de glace Drygalski (ou barrière Drygalski) est un glacier antarctique situé sur la côte de Scott, au nord du détroit de McMurdo dans la dépendance de Ross. Il est situé à 240 km au nord de l'île de Ross, à environ 75°24'S et 163°30'E. La langue de glace Drygalski, est relativement stable par rapport aux autres langues de glaces antarctiques, et s'étend sur 70 km depuis le glacier David, atteignant la mer depuis une vallée dans la chaîne du Prince-Albert de la Terre Victoria. Elle mesure de 14 à 24 km de large et est estimée être âgée d'au moins 4 000 ans. Robert Falcon Scott, capitaine de l'expédition Discovery (1901-1904), découvre la langue de glace Drygalski en janvier 1902, la nommant en honneur d'Erich von Drygalski, un explorateur contemporain alors aussi en Antarctique. Le nom est bien établi même avant l'application systématique de noms communs spécifiques ; c'est techniquement une langue de glacier mais on retient son nom de langue de glace pour lever toute ambiguïté quant à son identification. De mars à avril 2005, un iceberg de 3 000 km2, désigné B-15A, un des morceaux restants de l'iceberg B-15, originellement issu de la barrière de Ross, d'où il s'est détaché le 17 mars 2000, entre en collision avec la langue de glace Drygalski ; deux morceaux de celle-ci se cassent et se séparent du reste, chacun d'une superficie d'environ 70 km2. Fin mars 2006 un autre iceberg de la barrière de Ross, C-16, entre en collision avec la langue de glace Drygalski, dégageant un autre morceau, celui-ci de plus de 100 km2. Le glacier Drygalski, de l'autre côté de l'Antarctique dans la Terre de Graham, est souvent confondu avec la langue de glace Drygalski. (fr)
  • La lingua glaciale Drygalski (in inglese Drygalski Ice Tongue, conosciuta anche come barriera Drygalski, Drygalski Barrier) è una lingua glaciale nella terra della regina Victoria in Antartide. Localizzata ad una latitudine di 75° 24′ S ed una longitudine di 163° 30′ E, la lingua si protrae dal ghiacciaio David (una vallata delle montagne del principe Albert), estendendosi nel mare con una larghezza variabile dai 14 ai 24 chilometri. La località si trova nella parte settentrionale del canale McMurdo a 240 chilometri a nord dell'isola di Ross. Si stima che la lingua glaciale Drygalski sia vecchia di almeno 4 000 anni. (it)

Entre março e abril de 2005, um icebergue de 3.000 km2 designado por B-15A atingiu a língua partindo-a em duas partes, cada uma com 70 km2 de superfície. No final de março de 2006, outro aicebergue vindo da plataforma de gelo Ross, designado por C-16, atingiu a língua partindo mais um parte, com mais de 100 km2. (pt)
