Subglacial melt channels and fracture in the floating part of Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica

A dense grid of ice‐penetrating radar sections acquired over Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica has revealed a network of sinuous subglacial channels, typically 500 m to 3 km wide, and up to 200 m high, in the ice‐shelf base. These subglacial channels develop while the ice is floating and result f...
