| Right, Photo 3: Part of the cruise track is shown in Photo 3, at the Larsen B ice shelf. The area between the blue and white lines collapsed dramatically a few weeks after this cruise ended. This collapse, manifesting late 20th century regional warming, has since been shown by co-PI Domack and colleagues to have been unprecedented in the last ca. 12,000 yrs. |  |
