The Adélie Basin is a relatively small (∼1600 km2), semi-enclosed continental shelf bathymetric depression located adjacent to the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, a basin underlying a sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet that contains ∼3–4 m sea level equivalent of ice. Located within the Adélie Basin is...
