From: Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Supraglacial lake densities in relation to ice shelf vulnerability to hydrofracturing (from ref.11). (a) Scatterplot of mean ice shelf vulnerability (in regions where lakes are present) versus mean lake area per 15 km grid cell. Supraglacial lake locations (black polygons) overlain on ice shelf vulnerability index for four different ice shelves with high vulnerability indices, namely the (b) Amery, (c) Shackleton, (d) Moscow University, and (e) Riiser-Larsen. Grounding line locations shown in red line with ice flow direction approximated with back arrow.
