The Filchner Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS), located in the southern Weddell Sea, plays a key role in the dense water formation, which is a precursor of AABW in the world ocean. Today, the ice shelf is protected by a large cold continental shelf. Model studies, however, have suggested the potential for an i...
