West Ragnhild Ice Stream seabed topography, Antarctica. Topography of the seabed and land in the area of the West Ragnhild Ice Stream, Antarctica. Elevation is colour-coded from maximum depths (dark blue) to highest elevations (red/brown). This image was created by the Antarctic BedMachine mapping project. BedMachine uses satellite data on ice flow motion to estimate what lies between ice thickness radar soundings. Understanding Antarctica's underlying topography helps predict rates of ice loss and sea level rise associated with climate change. | |
