Branching Antarctic ice streams mapped in blue, bronze and black from radar-derived ice velocity.
Antarctic Ice Streams, Felix Ng, 2021
Visualisation of radar-derived ice velocity · West Antarctica

This visualisation covers roughly 1,000 kilometres of West Antarctica’s Siple Coast. Blue marks converging flow and bronze marks diverging flow; black identifies ice moving faster than 50 metres a year. The pattern reveals ice streams funnelling ice towards the coast, making motion on a continental scale legible as a single image.
