(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.
Think of Antarctica as an elephant's head.......East Antarctica would be the ear, West Antarctica would be the face, and the Antarctic Peninsula would then be the trunk. Two thick sheets of ice cover Antarctica. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is the biggest. The smaller ice sheet covers West Antarctica. These two ice sheets behave very differently, as you will find in the section all about ice sheets. Tips of the Transantarctic Mountains make up much of the continent peeking through the thick ice sheet.
