Stanley Basin (Antarctica)

Stanley Basin in Antarctica is a large ice-filled depression located near the coast. It is characterized by its steep walls and a broad, flat bottom, formed by glacial erosion. The basin holds a significant amount of ice, contributing to the ice mass of the continent. Its geological features provide insights into Antarctica's glacial history and climate changes over thousands of years. Researchers study such basins to understand ice dynamics, potential sea level rise, and past environmental conditions in the region.
