Surface melt and subsequent firn air depletion can ultimately lead to disintegration of Antarctic ice shelves causing grounded glaciers to accelerate and sea level to rise. In the Antarctic Peninsula (AP), foehn winds enhance melting near the grounding line, which in the recent past has led to the d...
