Taylor Valley with Lake Bonnie

Taylor Valley, looking east towards Taylor Glacier, filling the bottom of the valley in the distance. The ice-covered Lake Bonnie (center) is fed by the melt waters of Taylor Glacier, Canada Glacier (right) and a series of smaller glaciers up on the slopes of Taylor Valley. All of these glaciers melt or dry up before they could meet up and fill the entire valley with one big glacier allowing for one of the largest ice-free regions of Antarctica. Instead they are forming a series of lakes from their melt waters.
