Iceberg calving is the main process that facilitates the dynamic mass loss of ice sheets into the ocean, which accounts for approximately half of the net mass loss of all Antarctic ice shelves. Fine-scale calving variability observations can help reveal the involved calving mechanisms and identify t...
