Along the Antarctic coastline, ice shelves extend over the ocean, forming where glacial ice streams flow from the land to the sea. Ice shelves are important structures for the climate system, as they hold back land ice from reaching the ocean and contributing to sea level rise. In the Amundsen Sea r...
