the glacier tongue advances, and its flow speed drops.
冰川生长出冰舌，其流动速度随之下降。
The former glacier tongue formed a new iceberg nearly as large as B-09B.

The glacier tongue had previously contributed to keeping a section of the ocean free of ice, a condition known as a polynya.
在此之前，默兹冰舌促使这块海域保持着没有浮冰的状态，为冰沼湖(polynya)形成创造了条件。
During the winter, the rate of iceberg calving usually slows significantly; the glacier tongue advances, and its flow speed drops.
在冬季，冰山的崩离率往往会显着放缓；冰川生长出冰舌，其流动速度随之下降。
Sea ice abuts the floating glacier tongue except in three places along the front of the glacier.These ice-free areas are called polynyas.
从图上可以看到，海冰（Seaice) 和漂浮着的冰川紧靠着，只有在冰川前边的三处地方例外，这种没有冰的区域称作冰穴（Polynyas）。
Bindschadler scouted locations for the expedition in 2008, when he became the first person to set foot on the crevasse-riddled Pine Island Glacier tongue.
在2008年宾薛得勒曾前来侦查要考察的地点，那时他是第一个涉足这满布裂缝的松岛冰川舌的人。
A European satellite image of the entire glacier tongue shows the ice body's rugged surface. Deep cracks-crevasses-give the glacier tongue its rough texture.
欧洲卫星拍摄的一张冰舌全景图像展示了冰川崎岖不平的表面，深深的冰裂缝使得其表面如此粗糙。
The crack will not impact Bindschadler's expedition and may offer a unique opportunity for the team to measure what happens on a glacier tongue during a calving event.
这条裂缝不会影响宾薛得勒小组的考察，反而它可能给他们提供一次绝无仅有的机会测量到冰川崩解时冰川都发生些什么。

The "ice island" was the largest calving event on the glacier since 1962, and researchers estimated Petermann lost nearly a quarter of its floating ice tongue in one go.
本次冰川崩裂是1962年以来最大的一次，研究者估计彼得曼冰川的冰舌部分损失了近1/4的体积。
