From DailyMail.com, May 28, 2019...
An ancient divide in the rocks beneath East and West Antarctica is controlling the flow of water under the Ross Ice Shelf and the rates at which parts of the ice melt.
The boundary was discovered using a new, plane-mounted detector which can gather magnetic and gravitational data on the ice shelf as it flies around.
In addition, the researchers also discovered that a patch of open waters in the Ross Sea that cools the ocean in the winter can also lead to significant warming and local ice melt in the summertime.
Together, the findings highlight the importance of local ocean currents in the future retreat of the Antarctic ice shelf.

But variations in local climate will have a big impact on how fast the front edge of the ice shelf melts. Local? not GLOW-BALL?..............
