The Wilkes Subglacial Basin (WSB) is a major intraplate tectonic feature in East Antarctica. It stretches for ca 1400 km from the edge of the Southern Ocean, where it is up to 600 km wide towards South Pole, where it is less than 100 km wide. Recent modelling of its subice topography (Paxman et al.,...
