High geothermal heat flow beneath Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica inferred from aeromagnetic data

The Amundsen Sea sector, Antarctica, is underlain by shallow Curie depths – where the magnetic properties of rocks change – according to airborne magnetic data. This suggests high geothermal heat flow in this region of the West Antarctic Rift System.
