As a contrast, I've seen it with all the ice now gone and the ramp no longer in existence. I have just uploaded an aerial photo taken from the other direction showing Stonington as a lone island in 2002. I wish I could have set foot on the island though!

Jenny,
Could you give me any idea how far the glacier snout was back from the island when you overflew in 2002? If I remember correctly the ramp lost about 30 metres of width between 1971 and 1973 and the glacier snout actually retreated by about 70-80 metres over the same period.
