Description: Ice shelf extending from Joinville Island into the Antarctic Sound, at the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula. To put distances in perspective: based on Google Earth imagery dated exactly four weeks prior to taking this photograph, the distance from the edge of the ice-shelf to the first visible mountain peak is approximately six miles. Note: The image was taken six miles from the edge of the ice shelf. Based on camera sensor size, lens magnification, and distance from the object, the height of the ice shelf edge (above water) was calculate in three places (see notations) to range from 50.8 feet to 89.6 feet.
