The Totten Glacier in the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is a major contributor to ice discharge, with an ice volume equivalent of >3.5 m of global sea-level rise. Now, a multinational team of researchers combine data from multiple sources and measurements to reveal the pathways of offshore ocean heat transport towards the cavity of Totten Glacier. These results can help in better modelling and understanding the contribution of this massive glacier to global sea-level rise.
