Subglacial landscape in the Antarctic interior consistent with past fast ice flow

Nature Geoscience volume 16, pages 946–947 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Swath radar maps of the subglacial landscape reveal how Antarctica’s geologic history has influenced the evolution of the ice sheet. The findings indicate the role of past interior ice streams in shaping ice-sheet growth and flow from Hercules Dome.
