Antarctic glaciers are losing ice rapidly to the ocean through basal melting of ice shelves/tongues. To better predicate future sea level rise, it is urgent to detect the rapid basal melting of ice shelves/tongues as well as ocean’s role in this process. In this study, basal melting of Drygalski Ice...
