Breakup of land-fast sea ice in Lutzow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica, and its teleconnection to tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures

A large land-fast sea ice breakup occurred in 2016 in Lutzow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica. The breakup caused calving from the Shirase Glacier Tongue. Although similar breakups and calving have been observed in the past, the timing and magnitudes are not well-constrained. The ice's breakup latitud...
