The floating ice shelf is in the left foreground, and the grounding line is visible as an abrupt change in surface slope due to flexure caused by the buoyancy force where the ice reaches flotation. An ice shelf is a large platform of glacial ice floating on the ocean, fed by one or multiple tributary glaciers.
Radioglaciology is the study of glaciers, ice sheets, ice caps and icy moons using ice penetrating radar.It employs a geophysical method similar to ground-penetrating radar and typically operates at frequencies in the MF, HF, VHF and UHF portions of the radio spectrum.
An ice divide is the boundary on an ice sheet, ice cap or glacier separating opposite flow directions of ice, analogous to a water divide.Ice divides are important for geochronological investigations that use ice cores, since such coring is typically made at highest point of an ice sheet dome to avoid disturbances arising from horizontal ice movement.
Other labels refer to the ice tongue's grounding line, and northern and southern shear zones where it's in direct contact with the ice shelf. [ 29 ] The Thwaites Glacier Tongue, or Western Glacier Tongue ( 75°0′S 106°50′W / 75.000°S 106.833°W / -75.000; -106.833 ) was a narrow, floating part of the glacier, located about 30 ...

Greenland ice sheet as seen from space. An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size - meaning that it exceeds 50,000 km 2. [4] The currently existing two ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a much greater area than this minimum definition, measuring at 1.7 million km 2 and 14 million km 2, respectively.
