a MODIS imagery (NASA Worldview) of the study site from 5 January 2019, showing Terra Nova Bay (TNB), the Nansen Ice Shelf (NIS; red outline), and the Drygalski Ice Tongue (DIT). b Ice draft, seafloor bathymetry, and collected data. Colored lines indicate glider transects directed approximately parallel to (NE-SW; red) and perpendicular to (E-W; blue) the NIS calving front. Black circles indicate ship CTD/LADCP profiles along a transect parallel to ice shelf front. Grey lines/circles indicate other collected glider/ship data not included in these transects. The yellow triangle indicates the location of Automatic Weather Station Manuela on Inexpressible Island.
