Lied Glacier, Glacial formation in Heard Island, Australia
Lied Glacier extends along the southwestern coast of Heard Island, between Cape Arkona and Cape Pillar, with a thickness of 55 meters.
The Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions conducted the first survey of Lied Glacier in 1948, marking a milestone in polar research.
The glacier bears the name of N.T. Lied, a radio operator and weather observer who worked on Heard Island during 1951 and 1963.
Scientists require specialized permits and extensive preparations to reach this remote location, which experiences extreme weather conditions throughout the year.
The glacier functions as a natural laboratory for studying climate patterns due to its isolation from human interference and position in the southern Indian Ocean.
