Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves accounts for more than half of the mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet. Many studies have focused on active basal melting at ice shelves in the Amundsen–Bellingshausen seas and the Totten ice shelf, East Antarctica. In these regions, the intrusion of Circump...
