a Seafloor bathymetry of the Bellingshausen Sea from IBCSO v276 merged with subglacial topography from Huss and Farinotti43. Study sites for oceanographic analysis (blue and orange dashed boxes) and ocean data validation (grey dashed box, after Wallis et al.36) are marked. The red rectangle indicates Rusalka and Hoek Glaciers, and the Faraday/Vernadsky Station (purple triangle) provides surface air temperature data. b, c show close-up views of the Hoek and Rusalka glaciers, illustrating bed topography (from Huss and Farinotti43) and surface elevation (from TanDEM-X DEM, austral winter 2014), respectively. a–c Share the same colorbar for surface elevation and bed topography, as displayed in (a).
