The Kamb Ice Stream once was a fast flowing river of ice, one of the many ice streams feeding material into the Ross Ice Shelf from the Antarctic interior and eventually out to sea. 160 years ago Kamb Ice Stream stagnated and since then has seen very little if any change. Our goal was to investigate the central grounding zone of this ice stream (where the rock-based ice of the ice stream meets the floating ice of the ice shelf) as well as a potential drainage channel at its edge. This was carried out using GPS, active source seismic, and ground penetrating radar techniques over a six week period in the 2015/2016 austral summer. The data collected tells both an unexpected and exciting story of the ice’s journey from stream to shelf, and of the existence of water in a several hundred metre wide channel beneath a visible depression on the ice’s surface.
