We present a new digital elevation model (DEM) of the bed, with a 1 km gridding, of the Weddell Sea (WS) sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). The DEM has a total area of ∼ 125 000 km 2 covering the Institute, Möller and Foundation ice streams, as well as the Bungenstock ice rise. In compar...
