High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Erebus Ice Tongue is a mountain outlet glacier that projects 11–12 km into McMurdo Sound from the Ross Island coastline near Cape Evans, Antarctica. The glacier tongue varies in thickness from 50 m at the snout to 300 m at the point where it is grounded on the shoreline. Explorers from Robert F. Scott`s Discovery Expedition (1901–1904) named and charted the ice tongue.
