Ross Ice Shelf Project, 1976–1977

The Ross Ice Shelf is a floating sheet of ice about the size of France. It ranges in thickness from 200 m to approximately 1 000 m. The Ross Ice Shelf Project (RISP) seeks to shed more light on the ice shelf's relationship to the west Antarctic ice sheet and on the possibility that significant...
