In the Antarctic Peninsula, recent events of glacier retreat, disintegration and break-up of ice shelves indicated that ice masses in this region are reactingrapidly to the increasing trend in oceanic and surface air temperatures. This study aimed to define variations in ice flow velocity of tidewat...
