Institute Ice Stream

Institute Ice Stream (coord|82|0|S|75|0|W|) is an ice stream flowing north into Ronne Ice Shelf, southeast of Hercules Inlet. The feature was traversed by the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Ellsworth-Byrd Seismic Party, 1958-59, and the USARP-University of Wisconsin Seismic Party, 1963-64. It was delineated by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-NSF-TUD airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967-79, and in association with Foundation Ice Stream and Support Force Glacier, named after the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, England.
