This series of true-color images from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) show the portion of the Antarctic coastline that straddles the 180 degree longitude line. The image from November 9, 2001, shows Victoria Land at image left, the Ross Sea in center, and the Ross Ice Shelf at lower right. A rectangular ice berg is anchored near Ross Island near image center. The subsequent images show sea ice breaking up and drifting out to sea as summer progresses.
