Flow Of Antarctic Ice Shelves Between Long. 29° E. And 44° W

This paper discusses the mass outflow and dynamics of a 3000 km long front of the Antarctic ice sheet—the coastline from Prinsesse Ragnhild Kyst to the Filchner Ice Shelf. Ice shelves, mostly 50–100 km wide, account for more than 95% of this coastline. Large mass losses by calving generally occur at...
