  1. last views of the #RossIceShelf - now we head along the catchily named Edward VII Land coast towards Cape Colbeck. In search of meltwater coming around from the hot glaciers further east of here. #climate #OceanHeatContent

  2. have to say I enjoy some of the bad weather pix more than the classic tourista shots... blowing snow and low sunlight... this was about midnight...

  3. as we continue along the front of the #RossIceShelf (still... been going for days...and 2 more to go) we occasionally come across strange slots in the ice... a look from above shows that these are the ends of rifts that will eventually calve big #icebergs #climate - checkout polarview.aq/antarctic

  4. At today's #Tipaccs @OceanIceEU policy meeting, on #Antarctica and #TippingPoints, @nicojourd made a similar point to mine: the #RossIceShelf is the same size as the #NorthSea, predicting #iceShelf melt rates at the grounding line from an ocean point is like predicting ocean temperatures in Denmark with observations from the Atlantic. On the other side of the British Isles
