 Drygalski ice tongue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Drygalski Ice tongue or Drygalski Barrier or Drygalski Glacier Tongue is a glacier in Antarctica, located on the Scott Coast, in the northern McMurdo Sound of Antarctica's Ross Dependency, 240 kilometres (150 miles) north of Ross Island.
Drygalski Ice Tongue, being a stable feature by the standards of Antarctica's icefloes, stretches 70 kilometres out to sea from the David Glacier, reaching the sea from a valley in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land.
Drygalski Ice Tongue became well established by the name Drygalski Ice Tongue prior to initiation of systematic application of common specific names to a glacier and its glacier tongue.

 TEA: Giesting- -- 2.17.1998
The Drygalski Ice Tongue is the seaward extension of the David Glacier in the Western Ross Sea.
Our question from yesterday was "Who was Drygalski?" Drygalski was born in 1865 and was the leader of several different polar expeditions.
During a walk on the ice, Drygalski noticed that the cinders from the ship's smokestack had caused the ice on which they had landed to melt (the dark color of the ashes absorbed the heat from the sun).

Eric von Drygalski appears to have been the first to attempt to climb the mountain, which he had named Kaiser Wilheim Peak.
Despite the success of the voyage, Drygalski was unable to gain the appreciation of the Kaiser, since the ship had penetrated only as far as 66°2'S, whereas the English had reached 82°17'S. During the voyage the Gauss spent a year frozen in ice.
