Glaciologist using theodolite on Ronne Ice Shelf

Antarctic glaciology. A glaciologist using a theodolite to measure deformation of the Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The ice here is about 1000 metres thick, and floats on the water of the Southern Ocean. The ice moves off-shore at a rate of about 500 metres per year, the leading edge fracturing to form icebergs

Environmental Glaciologist Glaciology Ice Shelf Theodolite

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Science Photo Library, we witness the meticulous work of a glaciologist on the Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica. With unwavering focus, the glaciologist is seen using a theodolite to measure the deformation occurring within this massive ice formation. The Ronne Ice Shelf stretches out before us, an awe-inspiring sight with its immense thickness of approximately 1000 meters. Resting atop the Southern Ocean's waters, it showcases nature's remarkable ability to create such breathtaking landscapes. As our eyes delve deeper into this frozen expanse, we become aware of its constant movement. The leading edge fractures and gives birth to majestic icebergs that gracefully drift away into open waters. It is here that science meets artistry as these natural sculptures embark on their own unique journeys. This image encapsulates not only environmental research but also humanity's tireless pursuit of knowledge about our planet's delicate ecosystems. Glaciologists play a crucial role in understanding climate change and its impact on Earth's icy realms. Through their dedicated efforts and tools like theodolites, scientists can gather vital data regarding ice shelf deformations and movements. This information contributes significantly to our comprehension of global warming effects and aids in formulating strategies for mitigating future challenges. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific intrigue and visual splendor in this extraordinary photograph – reminding us of both nature’s magnificence and humankind’s quest for environmental preservation.
