-
A.
West Antarctic Rift System
chosen
The West Antarctic Rift System is a major tectonic rift zone underlying much of West Antarctica, characterized by crustal extension, volcanism, and significant influence on the region’s topography and ice sheet dynamics.
-
B.
Amery Ice Shelf region
The Amery Ice Shelf region is a vast coastal area of East Antarctica dominated by one of the continent’s largest ice shelves, where thick glacial ice flows from the interior into the Southern Ocean.
-
C.
West Antarctica
West Antarctica is the portion of the Antarctic continent lying mostly west of the Transantarctic Mountains, known for its marine-based ice sheet that is particularly vulnerable to climate change and potential sea-level rise.
-
D.
Antarctic Plateau margin
The Antarctic Plateau margin is the transitional region where the high, icy interior of Antarctica descends toward the surrounding coastal mountain ranges and ice shelves.
-
E.
Shackleton Glacier region
The Shackleton Glacier region is an area of Antarctica centered around the Shackleton Glacier, a major outlet glacier draining the polar plateau through the Transantarctic Mountains toward the Ross Ice Shelf.
