Fig. 1: Surface meltwater around the Antarctic continent.
From: Continent-wide mapping shows increasing sensitivity of East Antarctica to meltwater ponding
a–i, Occurrence frequency of surface meltwater for key ice shelves (IS) and outlet glaciers (G): George VI Ice Shelf (a), Amery Ice Shelf (b), Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf (c), Rennick Glacier (d), Shackleton Ice Shelf (e), Nivlisen Ice Shelf (f), Nansen Ice Shelf (g), Pine Island Ice Shelf (h) and Bach Ice Shelf (i). j, The ___location of each subpanel is shown in the central map: the spatial density of surface meltwater features across Antarctica, shown as mean meltwater area per 1-km2 cell using a 50-km search radius. Circles associated with ice-shelf labels are sized proportionally to the average surface meltwater area of each named ice-shelf region, split between floating ice (grey) and grounded ice within 20 km of the grounding line (black). Pie charts are only displayed for ice-shelf regions with mean meltwater area >10 km2. The thick black lines show the extent of the East and West Antarctic ice sheets and the AP. The central grey square indicates the region around the South Pole that was not mapped due to a lack of Landsat images (Methods). Ice-sheet and ice-shelf boundaries from ref. 56.
