The main features of the range formed before 34 million years ago, when the area was covered by the present ice sheet. [6] Current models suggest that the East Antarctic ice sheet was formed from the glaciers that began sliding down the Gamburtsev range at the end of the Eocene. [1]
A blue-ice area in the Miller Range with a meteorite. A blue-ice area is an ice-covered area of Antarctica where wind-driven snow transport and sublimation result in net mass loss from the ice surface in the absence of melting, forming a blue surface that contrasts with the more common white Antarctic surface.

Sky Blu is a forward operating station for the British Antarctic Survey located in southern Palmer Land, Antarctica. It is in an area of blue ice, an extremely hard and dense ice which has lost the air bubbles that normally cloud the ice. It provides a runway able to accommodate wheeled aircraft that are larger than can be handled by other ...
Recovery efforts on the C-130 crashed at Dome C. In the 1970s, Dome C was the site of ice core drilling by field teams of several nations. It was called Dome Charlie (NATO Phonetic Alphabet code for the letter C) by the U.S. Naval Support Force, Antarctica, and its Squadron VXE-6, which provided logistical support to the field teams.
The player takes the role of a "Keeper", charged with maintaining the three "Realms" that make up the "Firmament Project": Curievale, an ice mine for fresh water to power a steam plant; Juleston, a sulphur mine and power station; and St. Andrew, a conservatory. These realms are connected by "Conveyance Pods" through a central hub known as "the ...
Dome Argus is located on the massive East Antarctic Ice Sheet and is the highest ice feature of Antarctica. [4] Dome A is a lofty ice prominence, the highest rooftop of the Antarctic Plateau, and the elevation visually is not noticeable. Below this enormous dome, underneath at least 2,400 m (7,900 ft) of ice sheet, lies the Gamburtsev Mountain ...
