Pine Island Bay Mt. Murphy breaks the monotony of the mostly flat and barren icy white landscape of West Antarctica during the science flight there on Nov. 19. Fractures in the glacial ice of the Pine Island Glacier are evident in this photo taken during the last flight in the Fall 2010 Operation IceBridge environmental science mission as the glacier moves slowly into Pine Island Bay.
