When you think of Antarctica, you might imagine a stark, otherworldly continent of endless, white ice, with the only sound being the wind punctuated by the crack of a glacier calving in the distance.

Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics are governed by the balance between snow accumulation, basal melting, ice flow and calving, shaped by atmospheric temperature, oceanic heat flux and bedrock topography.
