NASA's NISAR mission captured a detailed radar image of East Antarctica showing a landform about the width of a major highway arranged as a hummingbird in flight. The bird like feature stretches across a broad region, and the radar sweep revealed fine details hidden beneath the snow cover. Scientists say the arrangement comes from distant era glacial erosion combined with the land underneath the ice. The team describe the result as a quiet reminder of how glaciers can carve rock into distinct shapes over long spans of time. The photo was released in early July in NASA's ongoing effort to map Antarctic ice with radar tools. The agency highlights the mission as a step forward in ice science. Researchers also note that the work guides studies of glacier retreat and sea level rise. They say similar passes will keep coming in the next phase. Pictures like this are likely to draw notice from both scientists and the broader audience. The mission is being run jointly between two major space agencies. They say the satellite was designed to record tiny shifts in the land elevation. The feature itself has already captured wide internet chatter. Several readers said the form looked nearly lifelike.
