A meltwater stream in the Abernethy Flats, James Ross Island, with multiple sources, including the main James Ross Island ice cap and a smaller cap east of the river's estuary. In April 2014, Cooper Millman measured the length of the river's tributaries to be 10.3 kilometres (6.4 mi), the second longest on the continent, from the main ice cap ...
Antarctic melt stream. Antarctica is a desert, receiving very little annual precipitation. [1] However meltwater from the continent's ice features produce a number of rivers and streams. A list of these can be found at List of rivers of Antarctica

<p>Chances are you make it through most days without sparing a thought for Antarctica. At just over 5.4 million square miles, it's a massive chunk of land that is nearly twice the size of ...
The Onyx River is an Antarctic meltwater stream which flows westward through the Wright Valley from Wright Lower Glacier and Lake Brownworth at the foot of the glacier to Lake Vanda, during the few months of the Antarctic summer. At 32 kilometres (20 mi) in length, it is the longest river in Antarctica.
The Ball Stream, Surko Stream, Scheuren Stream and South Stream are meltwater streams that leave the glacier and flow into the Ross Sea. They were all studied by Robert L. Nichols, geologist for Metcalf and Eddy, Engineers of Boston, Massachusetts, which made engineering studies here under contract to the United States Navy in the 1957–58 season.
