NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Antarctic Ice Shelf Vista” is copyrighted by Helmut Rott (U. Innsbruck). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

This image from Antarctica shows mountains where an ice shelf once lay between them. Most of the Larsen B Ice-Shelf, once 200 meters thick, has disintegrated into the ocean. The picture was taken from Grey Nunatak, one of three Seal Nunatak mountains bordering the shelf.
