Victoria Valley desert features, Dry Valleys, Antarctica

A view from the moraine at the right-lateral margin of Victoria Lower Glacier, looking towards the Olympus Range. The small river from this margin flows across a sandy plain, constrained by the spread of glacial deposits. The valley was calved out by wet-based glaciers at least a few million years ago, in the Pliocene Epoch or earlier.
