	Bathroom Shelf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This ice shelf was called a bay by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-14, under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Joseph Cook, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1914.
		Sunda Shelf - Geologically, the Sunda Shelf is an extension of the continental shelf of Southeast Asia, covered during interglacials by the South China Sea, which isolates as islands Borneo, Sumatra Java and smaller islands.
		Getz Ice Shelf - Getz Ice Shelf is an Antarctic ice shelf, over 480 km (300 mi) long and from 32 to 96 km (20 to 60 mi) wide, bordering the Hobbs and Bakutis Coasts of Marie Byrd Land between McDonald Heights and Martin Peninsula.

	Getz Ice Shelf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Several large islands are partially or wholly embedded in the ice shelf.
		The ice shelf westward of Siple Island was discovered by the USAS in December 1940.
		Named by the USAS (1939-41) for George F. Getz of Chicago, Illinois, who helped furnish the seaplane for the expedition.

	Spartanburg SC \| GoUpstate.com \| Spartanburg Herald-Journal
		Nearly all of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet that is, on average, 2.5 kilometres thick.
		Because ice flows, albeit slowly, the ice within the ice sheet is younger than the age of the sheet itself.
		The George VI Ice Shelf, which may be on the brink of instability [2], has probably existed for approximately 8000 years, after melting 1500 years earlier [3].

	SCAR » Report 13
		The overall theme of the meeting was, primarily, the coordination of ice radar sounding surveys of the grounding zone of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, and secondarily, the coordination of surface mass balance measurements and surface ice velocities.
		Establishing velocities of glaciers, ice streams, ice sheets, and ice shelves is essential to calculate the discharge of the mass balance equation.
		Velocities on the shelf near the DeVicq Glacier increase westward to near 0.5 km yr -1 and reach 0.6 km yr -1 at the glacier.

	Feb 1 - In the Amundsen Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The thinning is greatest in the parts of the ice sheet and glaciers that extend into and float on the sea, known as “ice shelves” and “glacier tongues”.
		Specifically, the cause has been proposed to be melting of the base of the floating ice as a result of upwelling of relatively warm water from the deep ocean onto the continental shelf.
		Yellow areas are ice (ice sheet, glaciers, icebergs and sea ice), fl areas are open water and white areas are high cloud.

		Although glaciology includes research on snow and ice of all kinds, most glaciological research is done on the large ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland.
		The icebreaker cruised past Ross Ice Shelf in March, days before the biggest known iceberg of the century was released.
		Ice input above and output across the 2,000-meter ice elevation contour line allowed ice thickening and thinning rates to be calculated for all sectors around the ice sheet.

	Dr Jezek's Modified Script
		Because the ice sheet is deforming, because it is deforming over a complex bed, and because it's being channeled between mountain-passes in many places, the surface of the ice sheet becomes disrupted and results in long flow patterns being superimposed on the ice sheet surface.
		Snow is dumped on the surface of the ice sheet and for the ice sheet to remain in equilibrium some amount of that snow has to eventually be melted off or calved off into the sea.
		This is the Wordie Ice Shelf on the western flank of the Antarctic Peninsula.

	TEA: Reynolds- -- 2.28.2000
		I went up in the ice tower, with the "seal people." We were looking for penguins, seals and whales to count for their population study.
		Ice picks up these things as it slides along bedrock, and when it breaks off as an iceberg, it takes them with it.
		While we were sailing along the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf a week or so back, we all took turns using a radar scope to get the range, or distance between the ship and the ice shelf.

		A coast-parallel trough extends along the inner shelf, whereas the outer shelf is occupied by troughs oriented offshore.
		Based on the extent of the trough and glacial grooves, it is apparent that the ice sheet extended to the shelf break.
		Where crystalline bedrock is the substrate, ice tended to follow the structural grain of the bedrock and carved deep troughs.

		We never did ask Mary what her actual position with the museum is, but she certainly treated it as though it and everything in it were her own personal possessions.
		The Getz family purchased the old Tom Moore Distillery in Bardstown in 1944, changing its name to The Barton Distillery (possibly because the Old Barton label already existed historically, although there are no examples to confirm this).

	Relating rock-floored ice streams to calving ice shelves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A massive calving event from the Ross Ice Shelf occurred during the cruise, and sections of Getz Ice Shelf observed in satellite imagery showed advanced stages of disintegration that may soon culminate in massive calving events, notably where De Vicq Glacier has punched through the ice shelf, shattering the ice shelf and itself.
		All of these troughs on the continental shelf are fore-deepened by glacial erosion, which has exposed rugged bedrock floors on the inner portion of the troughs.
		That ice shelf is supplied by ice streams from East Antarctica that are floored on rugged bedrock, according to interpretations of Radarsat imagery.

		The length of the northern coastline is 1,197 km, of which 38 per cent is ice wall.
		The coastline is dominated by large ice shelves that are, from west to east, the Sulzberger Ice Shelf (15,261 km
		The overall trend is noteworthy, because it is a possible indication of changing environmental conditions that may be related to reported thinning of the Getz Ice Shelf and the presence of warm bottom water along much of the Marie Byrd Land coast.

		We were lowered down to the ice floe surface the same way we boarded the ship, using the forward deck crane and a netted ring to stand on.
		While I was sleeping we'd gotten out of the pack ice and into a large area of open water near the Getz Ice Shelf.

	Australian Antarctic Division - 12 February (ANAN No. 92)
		Severe ice conditions the next day led to the ship becoming beset, but it was able to proceed westwards along the coast after a 12-hour delay, and eventually reached Cape Colbeck, at the eastern approach to the Ross Sea, on 17 January after a difficult passage through ice.
		Ice conditions worsened as the passage continued westwards into the Ross Sea due to the continued presence of several very large icebergs in that region (ANAN-64/03, 16 January 2002), and a severe blizzard was also encountered.
		At the same time, that ice also prevented another tour ship, New Zealand company Heritage Expeditions' vessel' 'Akademic Shokalskiy', from travelling further south into the Ross Sea, a situation that led to the cancellation of a planned climbing and skiing expedition to Mount Erebus (ANAN-91/05, 29 January 2003).

		After finishing work in the Getz area, the ship headed further east to the Dotson Ice Shelf, the next ice shelf in the direction of Pine Island on the coast bordering the Amundsen Sea.
		A schedule of work similar to that of the Getz Ice Shelf was under taken here, but this was as far to the east in the region as was possible for the ship to go due to the dangerous ice conditions described last week.
		The ice edge, having been blown down by the fresh Northerly winds of the pas few days, was much further south than where we much further south than where we had entered the pack just a couple of weeks previously.

		A forty percent reduction in the thickness of Arctic sea ice means around 16 feet of ice melted in the past 20 years, and Schneider says scientists are saying the loss of the Earth’s great ice sheets could signal a fast-approaching crisis point.
		Polar ice twice the size of Texas has melted in the last 27 years, and if current trends continue, there could be no ice in the Arctic during the summer by the end of the century.
		Melting glaciers and ice sheets will add volume to the oceans, but Schneider says this effect is miniscule compared to the rise of sea and ocean levels due to the heat expansion of a warmer ocean.

	Antarctic Glacier Velocity
		Yet, to understand the ice sheet dynamics fully, we must carefully document all of the coastal changes associated with advance and retreat of ice shelves, outlet glaciers, and ice streams.
		A critical parameter of ice sheets is their velocity field, which, together with ice thickness, allows the determination of discharge rates.
		Tongues on coastlines where ice shelves are narrow or absent tend to be short, perhaps due to vigorous ocean-current and wind regimes.
