Antarctic landfast sea ice: A review of its physics, biogeochemistry and ecology
Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

Airborne mapping of the sub-ice platelet layer under fast ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
Basal melting of ice shelves can result in the outflow of supercooled ice shelf water, which
can lead to the formation of a sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) below adjacent sea ice. McMurdo …
