The Byrd Glacier discharges into which Antarctic ice shelf?

The Byrd Glacier discharges into the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.

It flows eastward between the Britannia Range and the Churchill Mountains, carrying ice from a large area of the Antarctic plateau toward the coast. Its terminus lies at Barne Inlet on the western side of the Ross Ice Shelf, where the grounded glacier feeds floating shelf ice.

The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf in Antarctica and floats over the southern Ross Sea. That makes it different from an ice sheet: an ice sheet rests mainly on land, while an ice shelf is a floating extension of glacial ice. The Byrd Glacier is named for Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the American Antarctic explorer. The other choices—Larsen, Ronne, and Filchner—refer to different Antarctic ice shelves.
