Marine ice formation in a suture zone on the Larsen C Ice Shelf and its influence on ice shelf dynamics
Antarctic ice shelves are fed primarily by the glaciers flowing into them. Downstream of promontories separating these glaciers, super-cooled water can rise and freeze into suture zones, leading to the accretion of marine ice. Marine ice bodies have been found in several Antarctic ice shelves, but l...
