Oceancryosphere interactions along the Adlie and George V Land (AGVL) coast are investigated using a coupled oceansea iceice shelf model. The dominant feature of the Mertz Glacier Tongue (MGT), located at approximately 145E, was a highly productive winter coastal polynya system, until its calving in...
