The future behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) may have a major impact on future climate. For instance, ice sheet melt may contribute significantly to global sea‐level rise. Understanding the current state of the WAIS is therefore of great interest. The WAIS is drained by fast‐flowing gl...
