This is how the ice thickness at site M2 on the Fimbul ice shelf, Antarctica, has changed lately. Superimposed on the overall thinning (a combination of strain, snow compaction, and basal melt) you see the effect of tides on the ice!05 Feb 2025 14:10 +0000at://did:plc:7xk3ojwnjd6ehrmcfo6kddlj/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhgqrdbrlc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/elindarelius.bsky.social/post/3lgqgsuhge223It's still there!
