Surface meltwater drains on several Antarctic ice shelves, resulting in surface and sub-surface lakes that are potentially critical for the ice shelf collapse. Yet, our understanding and assessment of the drainage or refreezing of these lakes is limited, mainly due to lack of field observations and...
