- European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica - The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) is a multinational European project for deep ice core drilling in Antarctica. Its main objective is to obtain full documentation of the climatic and atmospheric record archived in Antarctic ice by drilling and analyzing two ice cores and comparing these with their Greenland counterparts ( ...
- Ice divide - An ice divide is the boundary on an ice sheet, ice cap or glacier separating opposing flow directions of ice, analogous to a water divide. Such ice divides are important for geochronology investigations using ice cores, because such coring is typically made on top of a dome of an ice sheet to avoid interferences caused by ...
- King Peninsula - King Peninsula () is an ice-covered peninsula, 100 miles long and 20 miles wide, lying south of Thurston Island and forming the south side of Peacock Sound. It projects from the continental ice sheet and trends west between the Abbot Ice Shelf and Cosgrove Ice Shelf to terminate at Amundsen Sea.
- Erebus Ice Tongue - The Erebus Ice Tongue is a mountain outlet glacier that projects 11-12 km into McMurdo Sound from the Ross Island coastline near Cape Evans, Antarctica. The glacier tongue varies in thickness from 50 m at the snout to 300 m at the point where it is grounded on the shoreline.
- Edward VII Peninsula - Edward VII Peninsula or King Edward VII Land or King Edward VII Peninsula or Kong Edward VII Land or König Edward VII Land is a large, ice-covered peninsula which forms the northwestern extremity of Marie Byrd Land and projects into the Ross Sea between Sulzberger Bay and the northeast corner of the Ross Ice Shelf. Edward VII Peninsula is defined by the Ross Ice Shelf on the southwest, Okuma Bay on the west, and to the east by Sulzberger Bay and the Saunders Coast, all essentially ...
