NASA-ISRO NISAR Satellite Captures Hummingbird-Shaped Formation in Antarctica
NASA and ISRO's joint NISAR satellite captured a detailed image of Nunatak Zaterjavshijsja, a rocky mountain peak in East Antarctica surrounded by ice. The formation, nicknamed the 'hummingbird' due to its shape, results from the mountain's interaction with flowing glaciers creating crevasses that resemble a bird's outline. Using advanced L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar, NISAR reveals Earth's surface features through clouds and darkness, providing valuable data on ice structures and glacial dynamics in Antarctica.
