Vast snow dunes frozen in time

Abstract: New and old satellite data are helping glaciologists understand some of the curious features on the Antarctic continent. Comparison of declassified data from the 1960s with modern satellite images has revealed great expanses of snow dunes that have apparently not moved in the past 30 years. Other high-resolution images have exposed the source of giant streams of ice that flow into the sea.
