Delta Stream
Coordinates: 77 ° 38 ′ S , 163 ° 7 ′ E
The Delta Stream is a small glacial meltwater river in the Taylor Valley of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the Howard Glacier to Lake Fryxell .
The American glaciologist Troy L. Péwé (1918-1999) from Arizona State University examined it in December 1957 as part of Operation Deep Freeze from 1957 to 1958. He named it so because the river runs through a series of deltas caused by the subsidence of a glacial lake.
