Rare ice-base temperature measurements in Antarctica reveal a cold base in contrast with predictions

Abstract The Antarctic bed demonstrates complex behaviour comprising alternating warm- and cold-based areas. However, the distribution of warm- and cold-based areas, basal melting rates, and the structure and age of the basal ice are not yet fully known. In the 2023–2024 season, we drilled an access...
