Lambert Glacier is a major glacier in East Antarctica. At about 80 km (50 mi) wide, over 400 km (250 mi) long, and about 2,500 m (8,200 ft) deep, it is the world's largest glacier.

Velocity map of Antarctica. Ice streams can be seen with increasing speeds (blue-yellow-white) flowing toward the coast. [1] Radarsat image of ice streams flowing into the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf. An ice stream is a region of fast-moving ice within an ice sheet. It is a type of glacier, a body of ice that moves under its own weight. [2]
Lambert Glacier flows from Lambert Graben into the Amery Ice Shelf on the southwest side of Prydz Bay. The Amery Basin ( 68°15′S 74°30′E / 68.250°S 74.500°E / -68.250; 74.500 ) is an undersea basin north of the Amery Ice
Mawson Escarpment) is a flat-topped, west-facing escarpment which extends in a north–south direction for 110 km (70 mi) along the east side of Lambert Glacier in Antarctica
The icefall feeding the Lambert Glacier in Antarctica is 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) wide and 14 kilometres (8.7 miles) long, even though the elevation difference is only 400 metres (1,300 feet), a little more than half that of the Roosevelt Glacier icefall. Icefalls are climbed because of their beauty and the challenge they pose. In some cases ...

Lambert Graben is a graben in Antarctica. It intersects the coast at Prydz Bay and contains the largest glacier in the world, Lambert Glacier. The graben is a Permian rift which contains coal beds. The graben has been correlated with the coal bearing Godavari Valley of the Indian Peninsula prior to the breakup of Gondwana. [1]
Fisher Massif) is a rock massif about 16 nautical miles (30 km) long and 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide, standing at the west side of Lambert Glacier about 42 nautical miles (78 km) south of the Aramis Range. It was discovered by an ANARE party led by B.H. Stinear in October 1957, and was named by ANCA for Morris M. Fisher, a surveyor at Mawson ...
