ice tongue

noun

First recorded in 1890–95

At daylight we were able to steer southwest, being at noon about twenty miles north of Termination Ice-Tongue.

Pushing through the looser edge of pack for a couple of hours we saw the loom of the ice-tongue to the southward.

The instant he slipped, I made a quick leap for a point of rock that barely pierced the steep ice-tongue.

Our approximate position is forty miles east-north-east of Nordenskjold Ice Tongue.

The pack was dense and in massive array at the extremity of Termination Ice-Tongue.
