We present findings recently published in GRL (Burton-Johnson et al., 2017) on the variability of Antarctic sub-glacial heat flux and the impact from upper crustal geology.A new method reveals that the upper crust contributes up to 70% of the Antarctic Peninsulas subglacial heat flux, and that heat...
