Fig. 3: Supraglacial lake recurrence around East Antarctica.
From: Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica
(a–j) Normalised count of overlapping lakes at their maximum extent during January from 2014 to 2020 on selected major ice shelves and outlet glaciers, weighted according to the number of useable (partially or totally cloud-free) satellite images in this period. Turquoise/pale blue colours correspond to infrequently-forming lakes (i.e. that formed in a single year) and pink/purple colours correspond to frequently-forming lakes (i.e. that formed on multiple dates in January in several or all years). This figure highlights the distribution of SGLs across these major ice shelves but note that lakes occur with less frequency in other regions, for example along the Ingrid Christensen Coast (between Polarbroken Glacier and Shackleton Ice Shelf) and on Voyeykov Ice Shelf (adjacent to Moscow University Ice Shelf). The grounding line is shown as a solid black line in all panels. Grounding line from ref. 77 and coastline from ref. 78.
