Ice Fields | Palmer Archipelago
Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula features extensive ice fields, including the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet, which is highly susceptible to climate change. This region is characterized by significant glaciers and ice shelves, such as the Larsen and George VI Ice Shelves. The Palmer Archipelago, located off the northwestern coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, is surrounded by ice-covered waters and influenced by the broader glacial dynamics of the peninsula. While not an ice field itself, the archipelago is part of a larger ecosystem impacted by the melting and break-up of ice shelves in the area.
