Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Kenn Borek Air provides airplanes, pilots and support crew for many different national Antarctic programs, enabling scientists to reach distant locations. This photo was taken at the Eastern Shear Margin (ESM) of Thwaites Glacier; the area near where the glacier borders Pine Island Glacier.
The scientists are testing if hydrology influences the behavior and movement of the shear margin, and if the glacial bed conditions influence the behavior of these rapidly deforming regions. If the Thwaites Glacier Eastern Shear Margin migrates outwards it could join the Pine Island Glacier, connecting the two glaciers which are already making large contributions to sea-level rise.
