Berisad Glacier
Berisad Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Берисад, romanized: lednik Berisad, IPA: [ˈlɛdniɡ ˈbɛrisɐt]) is a glacier 3 nmi (6 km; 3 mi) long and 1 nmi (2 km; 1 mi) wide in Veregava Ridge, central Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It flows north-northwestwards from Kushla Peak to join Dater Glacier northeast of Sipey Peak.[1]

gollark: Even I can make nicer cuboids.
gollark: (Software defined radios. They can tune to large ranges of frequencies, and do the (de)modulation on a computer instead of specialized hardware. I have a £30 SDR receiver which can receive anything between 24MHz and ~1.7GHz, though it's obviously limited a lot by antennas)
gollark: <@229624651314233346> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the "radios use one crystal for each band" thing, given the existence of SDRs.

gollark: Actually, you may want to use LoRa directly and just fix it at a low data rate or something, not LoRaWAN. I've never actually used it, I just know it seems a reasonable option for this.
