November 20, 2021 - Satellite view showing an array of sea ice in the Weddell Sea close to the Antarctic continent. The thickest ice in this view is not sea ice at all; it belongs to the Ronne Ice Shelf. The shelf is a floating extension of Antarctica's land-based ice sheet, and extends tens of meters above sea level at its front.
