How to use ice shelf in a sentence?
I think the ice shelf will be gone in a matter of years to decades, but the actual inland ice, that’s the really unknown question.
It is lucky that we were not on The Milne Ice Shelf when this happened, our camp area and instruments were all destroyed in this event.
From the satellite data, we're seeing these big fractures spreading across the ice shelf surface, essentially weakening the fabric of the ice ; kind of a bit like a windscreen crack, it's slowly spreading across the ice shelf and eventually it's going to fracture into lots of different pieces.
What's most concerning about the recent results is that it's pointing to a collapse of this ice shelf, this kind of safety band that holds the ice on the land, if we lose this ice shelf, then the glacier will flow into the ocean more quickly, contributing towards sea level rise.
I don't think there has been a shelf collapse like this in East Antarctica since we've been able to receive satellite data, conger is a very small ice shelf which has been decreasing in size for many years and this was just the final step which caused it to collapse.
