Fluctuations of Heard Island Glaciers 1947-2014
Understanding of changes in the extent of the Heard Island glaciers has been derived from comparison of brief journal accounts, photographs and drawings made during the early sealing period and later, as scientists began to explore this remote island, from published reports, photographs, satellite i...
