Early in the Antarctic spring, when the winter sea ice begins to break up, captains can undertake a maneuver called garaging. It involves driving straight into the ice at speed, allowing the ship to slowly grind to a halt, and guests get to descend to walk on a frozen sea gfycat.com/cheerysnarling…

Scientists predict that continued global warming under current trends could lead to an elevation of sea level by as much as five meters by 3000 CE. The study demonstrates clearly that the impact of 21st-century climate change on the Antarctic ice sheet extends well beyond the 21st century itself. global.hokudai.ac.jp/blog…

Brinicle formation under the Antarctic ice sheet: A brinicle (brine icicle, also known as ice stalactite) is a downward-growing hollow tube of ice enclosing a plume of descending brine that is formed beneath developing sea ice.
A brinicle descends (in time-lapse) to the ocean floor creating a frozen deathtrap for sea stars which failed to move away in time. Brinicles are super-cooled columns of fresh water that freeze as the ice above melts and falls into the ocean. This happens frequently under the Antarctic ice sheet.

A regime shift in seasonal total Antarctic sea ice extent in the twentieth century nature.com/articles/s4155…
The new study examined the status of Antarctic ice sheets during the Early Miocene, around 18-16 million years ago, which experienced both warm and cold periods. During warmer periods, sea level rose by up to 60 metres – the equivalent of melting all the ice currently on the Antarctic continent. imperial.ac.uk/news/23265…

Ice shelf holding back keystone Antarctic glacier within years of failure | Breakup of the Thwaites eastern shelf will ramp up sea level rise
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)
> An ice sheet the size of Florida, Thwaites ends its slide into the ocean as a floating ledge of ice 45 kilometers wide.
> Once the ice shelf shatters, large sections of the glacier now restrained by it are likely to speed up, says Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a leader of the Thwaites expedition.
> Exploring the future of this keystone of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is the aim of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, a multiyear, more than $50 million expedition funded by the United States and United Kingdom.
> The team managed to erect several temporary camps, including one in the middle of the ice shelf and another farther upstream, near the grounding line where the glacier detaches from the continent.
> The models suggest the extensive surface cracks seen in the past 5 years have opened as ice thinned by melting grinds into an offshore, undersea mountain, which had long helped hold the ice shelf back.
> The ice shelf failure will be a warning that Thwaites, and the rest of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, could begin to see significant losses within decades, especially if carbon emissions don't start to come down, Pettit says.

Ernest Shackleton and five colleagues launch their desperate 720 mile journey to inhabited South Georgia Island in a 20' life boat, 1916. After Antarctic ice crushed the ship Endurance, its crew had trekked across ice and sea to bleak Elephant Island. All survived.
