Derwael Ice Rise is 40 km long, 35 km wide and about 400 m tall[1] ice rise in ice shelf off Princess Ragnhild Coast, Antarctica. Situated 70 km east[2] of Breid Bay in northern part of Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, directly in front of Western Ragnhild Glacier.[3] Named for geodesist of Belgian Antarctic expedition Jean-Jacques Derwael.[4]
Studies suggest that Derwael Ice Rise has remain relatively stable over the last millennia.[5][6]
