We just learned about the Ross Gyre.
Another part of Antarctica is the number of Antarctic Glaciers.
We know that the Antarctic Ice sheet goes over all of Antarctica, but there are a lot of smaller ice sheets that people have given names to and put on maps. There are thousands of different glaciers of different types in Antarctica, like outlet glaciers, valley glaciers, cirque glaciers, tidewater glaciers and ice streams.
Each different type of glacier have different shapes and do different things for the ice and water in Antarctica.
The biggest glacier in Antarctica is the Lambert Glacier.
It is 50 miles wide, over 250 miles long and over a mile and a half deep!
