NASA's NISAR spacecraft captured a clear radar image of East Antarctica showing a landform roughly the width of a major highway shaped like a hummingbird in flight. The unusual outline stretches across a broad region, and the radar scan revealed fine details hidden beneath the frozen layer. Scientists say the pattern comes from ancient glacial erosion combined with the land below the ice cap. The team describe the result as a quiet reminder of how ice sheets can carve rock into distinct shapes over long spans of time. The photo was released in early July in NASA's active program to map Antarctic ice with radar based tools. The agency highlights the mission as a step forward in sheet science. Researchers also note that the work guides studies of glacier retreat and ocean changes. Researchers note similar reads will run in the next phase. Pictures like this are set to draw attention from both researchers and the casual readers. The mission is being run jointly across two major space programs. Managers say the satellite was designed to measure subtle shifts in the ground level. The feature itself has already captured wide web based buzz. A number of readers said the form looked almost lifelike.
