(Australian Antarctic Division (Photo: Paul Brown, Australian Maritime College)) Scientists at institutions in the United States and Australia on Friday published a set of unprecedented ocean observations near the largest glacier of the largest ice sheet in the world: Totten glacier, East Antarctica. And the result was a troubling confirmation of what scientists already feared â Totten is melting from below.
Antarctic glaciers are beautiful and awe-inspiring. They affect us through their connections with the ocean and sea level, and environmental change is having rapid consequences in Antarctica. Antarctica is the worldâs largest ice sheet, covering ~14,000,000 km 2.he Dry Valleys of Antarctica are the most similar place on Earth to the desolate landscapes of the Moon and Mars. This website aims to introduce some key concepts in Antarctic glaciology. These are explored in our Science Themes, and include descriptions of different types of glacier, ice shelves, and ice streams.
