Amazing and rare cloud-free scenes showing tremendous recent retreat of eastern Cook Ice Cap outlets glaciers! ❄️🌞🥵
Ampere Gl. (most studied, south) has properly dislocated! 😱

@NilsFlaatten @StueyMax Many trips. First trip was in 2003.

[David W. Hedding @Gap_10]

@geordinhl @StueyMax Maclear’s Beacon on Table Mountain is 1086m while Mascarin Peak is 1242m. So Table Mountain is 156m shorter. Both have good views though.

[David W. Hedding @Gap_10]

@StueyMax The last full-scale eruption occurred on the west coast of Marion Island in 1980 and a minor event occurred in 2004.
