Victoria Valley desert features, Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Ponds with meltwater sourced from glacier run-off have a carapace of ice amongst sandy boulder moraine near the true-left margin of Victoria Lower Glacier. Evaporation from the ponds has lowered the water-level, leaving a rim of white salts around the edge. View looking west (inland).
