The [Wormald Ice Piedmont](/source/Wormald_Ice_Piedmont) covers large parts of the [Wright Peninsula](/source/Wright_Peninsula) on eastern Adelaide Island, Antarctica, and terminates in high ice cliffs on [Laubeuf Fjord](/source/Laubeuf_Fjord). The nunatak in the centre of the picture has a height of 398 m (1,306 ft). The mountains on the right form part of the [Stokes Peaks](/source/Stokes_Peaks) and mark the northern edge of the ice piedmont. On the far left a melting pond can be seen on the ice. Viewing direction is toward the NNW.

An **ice piedmont** consists of "[Ice](/source/Ice) covering a coastal strip of low-lying land backed by [mountains](/source/Mountain)."
