Basal freeze-on generates complex ice-sheet stratigraphy

Subsurface ice-sheet radar images reveal large plume-shaped bodies rising from the base, with their origin not yet understood. Here, the authors show that freeze-on of water at the ice-sheet base combined with ice-flux explains the vertical extent, shape and structure of the observed plumes.
