Thwaites Jan 2019 BAS aerogeophysical survey plan
Map of BAS airborne geophysical survey area and planned flight lines in white. Colors indicate ice flow speed, showing the broad area of rapid flow and the many tributaries of Thwaites reaching into the interior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Black contours show surface elevation.

A team of over 20 polar scientists from the UK, US and Sweden set sail this week (29 January) on the first ship-based research expedition to Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica as part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration.
This cruise is part of a five-year project to understand the contribution that the glacier will make to global sea level.
