Christy Glacier

The Amundsen Glacier is a major Antarctic glacier, about 7 to 11 km wide and 150 km long. It originates on the Antarctic Plateau where it drains the area to the south and west of Nilsen Plateau, then descends through the Queen Maud Mountains to enter the Ross Ice Shelf just west of the MacDonald Nunataks.
