Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier has started moving faster again. Scientists said the glacier increased its rate of flow toward the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica by 12 per cent between 2017 and 2020 abc.net.au/news/science/2β¦

Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions and a key figure of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. He led the first expedition to traverse the Northwest Passage by sea, from 1903 to 1906, and the first expedition to the South Pole in 1911. (Colourised by me) [1536 x 2048]

Glaciologists have uncovered large valleys in the ocean floor beneath some of the massive glaciers flowing into the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica. The troughs enable warm, salty water to reach the undersides of glaciers, fueling their increasingly rapid retreat. news.agu.org/press-releasβ¦
Amundsen sea research
Hi guys, I'm doing some reading about the Amundsen sea and what research is being done there. Obviously being more remote and having no research station nearby research activity is lower in this region. What would the top research priorities be in this area of the southern ocean? I know the effects of melting ice shelves is something that is of interest. Keen to hear any ideas
