Foundation Ice Stream
Foundation Ice Stream
is a major
ice stream
in Antarctica's
Pensacola Mountains
. The ice stream drains northward for along the west side of the
Patuxent Range
and the
Neptune Range
to enter the
Ronne Ice Shelf
westward of
Dufek Massif
. The
United States Geological Survey
mapped the stream from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66. The
Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names
named the stream in recognition of the
National Science Foundation
, which provided major support to the
U.S. Antarctic Research Program
during this period.
