Sampling meltwater of Canada Glacier

by Alessandra Sciarra, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Rome, Italia

This image shows a temporary stream filled up by meltwater of Canada Glacier, Antarctica. The location is Dry Valleys, composed of a mosaic of ice-covered lakes, ephemeral streams, valley glaciers and large spreads of a sandy–gravelly soil.
